The image showcases a group of determined athletes who are about to embark on an unforgettable journey - the highly anticipated British Lions Tour to New Zealand. The composition beautifully captures the essence of camaraderie and teamwork as these remarkable players stand side by side. From left to right, we see Mike Roberts from Wales, Gordon Brown from Scotland, John Pullin representing England, Sandy Carmichael also hailing from Scotland, John Taylor proudly wearing his Welsh colors, Mike Hipwell representing Ireland with pride, and finally Peter Dixon donning his English jersey.
