EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured during the 1980 Five Nations Championship, we witness a thrilling moment of intensity and determination on the rugby field. The image showcases England's Nick Preston as he fearlessly closes in on France's Jean-Luc Averous, both players fully committed to their roles in this high-stakes clash. With every muscle tensed and eyes locked onto his opponent, Preston epitomizes the unwavering spirit of English rugby. His focused gaze reveals an unyielding determination to halt Averous' progress at all costs. Meanwhile, Averous (#11) appears poised for action, ready to evade or confront any challenge that comes his way. Set against the backdrop of Parc des Princes in Paris, one can almost feel the electric atmosphere pulsating through the stadium. The crowd roars with anticipation as these two titans collide on the pitch – a true battle between nations unfolding before our eyes. This extraordinary photograph by Colorsport / Colin Elsey perfectly encapsulates not only a pivotal moment within this historic match but also embodies the essence of Rugby Union itself - fierce competition coupled with mutual respect between adversaries. It serves as a timeless reminder of how sport has an incredible ability to captivate us and unite nations through shared passion and camaraderie.
