Lions v South Africa Fourth Test Jul 1974 - Starmer-Smith
Original commentary notes by Nigel Starmer-Smith
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? Featuring both team sheets from the series finale. The Lions team 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 sheet was signed by every player.
Available as print-only or framed.

Where the notes come from
Straight from the commentary box.
You're buying a print, not the original paper — and the value is in whose paper it was. We'd rather say that here than let you find out later.
- Supplied by the commentator who wrote it. We work with them directly, not the resale market.
- Reproduced, never recreated. Nothing retyped or tidied. The shorthand and corrections stay exactly where they fell.
- Signed editions are numbered. Selected prints are signed by hand and limited.
