EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of Twickenham in 1979 during the New Zealand Tour of England, Scotland, and Italy. Referee Norman Sanson, hailing from Scotland, is seen engaging in a serious conversation with All Black John Spiers amidst the heat of battle on the rugby field. The image perfectly encapsulates the spirit and physicality of Rugby Union as two formidable forces collide. The intensity etched on their faces tells a story of determination and unwavering focus. With his authoritative presence, Referee Norman Sanson appears to be imparting wisdom or perhaps issuing a stern warning to Spiers. Standing alongside them is Brian Ford (#14), another All Black player who seems equally engrossed in this pivotal moment. Their body language suggests that they are fully aware of the significance of this encounter; every decision made here could potentially shape the outcome for their team. Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey has masterfully frozen this instant in time, allowing us to delve into an era when rugby was played with raw passion and grit. This print serves as a testament to both the skillful artistry behind capturing sports photography and its ability to transport us back through history's most iconic sporting moments.
