'One of the greatest wins' - Wales stun All Blacks to go from no-hopers to heroes
Highlights: Wales beat New Zealand for first time in 73 years
That is how former captain Sam Warburton described the monumental result against New Zealand in Cardiff on Saturday.
At the time of the kick-off, the All Blacks were effectively the top-ranked side in the world following South Africa's tension-filled loss to France on Friday night.
So no-one gave Wales hope - even Warburton - with some bookmakers offering odds of 30-1 during the week.
The question, not of when but can, Wales beat the All Blacks again has beset them since 1953.
That 73-year wait has been marred by cheating, national scandal and pure sporting drama.
Little wonder then that few wanted to leave the Principality Stadium long after the final whistle had sparked unprecedented scenes of utter joy - and relief - to the strains of Yma O Hyd.
That losing run - stretching across 34 matches - has hung like a millstone around the necks of generations of Wales players.
Warburton himself was part of one of the most successful teams of all time during the Warren Gatland era - but lost all five meetings with New Zealand.
Even the legendary team of the 1970s fell short, although Sir Gareth Edwards was among the Principality Stadium crowd on Saturday to witness history.
