"A Clear Impression" - Rugby

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 22 May 1958, page 12: "This captured moment during the match between Old Boys and Kia Toa on Saturday last clearly shows why many rugby critics have claimed the big 15-stone lock W. Hearn as one of the country's leading line-out exponents. Hearn has his fingers firmly wrapped around the ball and is in the act of getting a clean path away from W. Cherrie."
