Description

A print of Nigel Starmer-Smith's original commentary notes from South Africa v British & Irish Lions, Lions Tour, Fourth Test at Ellis Park Johannesburg on July 27, 1974.

Why we love this commentary sheet? Lions legends the lot of them. It reads like a who's who of the rugby greats. The Invincibles, as they came to be known, did not lose a match on tour and went down in rugby history. What is more, the original sheets were signed by every player.

Available as print-only or framed.

The wrapped MDF wooden frame has a black matt finish, scratch-resistant perspex, built-in picture hooks and an MDF back.

They are A3 (297mm x 420mm) in size and the frame is 30mm wide and 15mm deep.

All products include a letter of authentication verifying that these are prints of the original commentary notes.
