EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colin Elsey, we are transported back to the thrilling 1977 British Lions Tour to New Zealand. The image showcases the legendary Ian McGeechan skillfully passing the ball amidst a sea of mud at Athletic Park in Wellington. As rain pours down relentlessly, turning the field into a treacherous terrain, McGeechan's determination shines through his every move. With unwavering focus etched on his face, he navigates through the muddy chaos with grace and precision. His pass is executed flawlessly, defying the challenging conditions that surround him. This snapshot perfectly encapsulates both the physicality and resilience required in rugby union. It serves as a testament to McGeechan's exceptional talent and leadership skills as he guides his fellow Lions towards victory against their formidable opponents - New Zealand Juniors. The monochromatic tones add an air of nostalgia to this iconic moment in sporting history. We can almost feel ourselves standing alongside passionate fans braving adverse weather conditions while witnessing these titans clash on hallowed ground. Colin Elsey's masterful composition allows us to relive this historic encounter between two rugby powerhouses. This print not only captures a fleeting moment frozen in time but also evokes emotions of admiration for those who dedicate themselves to their craft despite facing seemingly insurmountable challenges.
