EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Colorsport Images, we are transported back to the intense atmosphere of the 1974 British Lions Tour to South Africa. The image showcases a bloodied JPR Williams, one of the most revered figures in Rugby Union history and a member of the British Lions squad. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph, it becomes evident that Williams has endured an arduous battle on Ellis Park's hallowed ground during the fourth test match against South Africa. His face is marked with crimson streaks, testament to his unwavering commitment and fearless approach to the game. The image encapsulates both the physicality and sheer determination required in rugby union as Williams stands tall amidst adversity. Despite being battered and bruised, his steely gaze reveals an unyielding spirit that refuses defeat. This snapshot serves as a poignant reminder of not only Williams' exceptional skill but also highlights the sacrifices made by these athletes for their sport.
