EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of Twickenham in 1979. As England's Tony Bond, Fran Cotton, and Steve Smith gather on a bench, their faces reveal a mixture of determination and anticipation before facing off against the formidable All Blacks. The image captures a moment frozen in time - a snapshot of three rugby legends preparing themselves mentally for what would undoubtedly be an epic battle on the field. Their jerseys proudly display the iconic red rose emblem, symbolizing their unwavering commitment to representing their country. Tony Bond stands tall at the leftmost end of the bench, his piercing gaze reflecting his fierce dedication as he contemplates the challenges that lie ahead. Fran Cotton sits beside him with an air of quiet confidence, his rugged features betraying years spent battling it out in scrums against some of rugby's toughest opponents. On the right side sits Steve Smith, exuding both strength and composure as he mentally prepares himself for what promises to be an arduous encounter with New Zealand's finest players. This photograph is not just about these three individuals; it encapsulates an entire era when rugby was played with grit and passion. It serves as a reminder of the rich history behind one of sport's most enduring rivalries - England versus New Zealand - forever etched into our collective memory thanks to Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey's expert lensmanship.
