EDITORS COMMENTS
In this iconic photograph captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the thrilling world of rugby union in 1976. The image showcases the formidable duo of Mervyn Davies and Ray Gravell as they charge onto the field for the Barbarians at Cardiff Arms Park. As captain of both Swansea and Wales, Mervyn Davies exudes a commanding presence, leading his team with unwavering determination. His powerful stride and focused gaze epitomize his role as a leader on and off the pitch. Behind him, Ray Gravell from Llanelli adds an extra layer of intensity to their entrance. With muscles bulging and eyes fixed on victory, it is clear that these two players are ready to give their all. This momentous occasion took place during the final challenge match between Barbarians and Australia during the 1975/1976 Australia Tour of the British Isles. The scoreline tells its own story - a resounding victory for Barbarians with a scoreline reading 19-7 against Australia. Colorsport photographer Colin Elsey expertly captures not only the physicality but also the passion that radiates from every player in this historic encounter. This print serves as a timeless reminder of an era when rugby was played with raw grit and unyielding spirit
