On initial inspection, this artwork is a simple representation of a common technique used in many of Tretchikoff’s sporting paintings. Bonhams suggests that his reason for portraying movement is a desire to recapture the excitement of the spectators and the event. In contrast to the frozen action of the photo-finish that is normally published in the newspaper the following day, the artist's [players] are in perpetual motion.
However, this work has a much more political undertone. Produced in 1977, the year the British and Irish Lions kicked off their Test series against the combat starved Springboks at Newlands. Despite a one-off match against the World XV to mark the opening of Loftus Versfeld in 1977 and two clashes against a South American side earlier in 1980‚ Bill Beaumont’s Lions was the first team of international repute to play the Boks in four years.
