As the battle unfolds at Kingsholm in Gloucester, four iconic All Blacks players steal the limelight. Standing tall and proud from left to right are Keith Murdoch, Peter Whiting, Lindsay Clark, and Ronald Urlich. Their unwavering determination is palpable as they face off against their formidable opponents. The intensity of the moment is beautifully captured by renowned sports photographer Colin Elsey for Colorsport Images.
