Description: An animal's head (possibly a lion?) is mounted on a shield labelled "First test". The head has black hair which is in the style of All Black Bryan Williams. The caption reads: "The big test is yet to come - can the NZRFU beat the Gleneagles team?" A kiwi in an All Black uniform stands below the mounted head, smiling. This refers to the Gleneagles Agreement of 1977 whereby leaders of Commonwealth countries agreed not to engage in sporting activities with South Africa, to assert pressure to end their apartheid regime.
