'We've waited 73 years to be here' - Wales fans ecstatic after win over New Zealand
Saturday marked the first time Wales had beaten New Zealand in 73 years
Welsh rugby fans were "fizzing off their heads" on Saturday night after ending 73 years of hurt against New Zealand in an epic Nations Championship encounter.
The match at the Principality Stadium ended 35-28 to the hosts as the All Blacks' run of 34 successive victories against Wales - dating back to 1953 - came to a juddering halt in Cardiff.
Wales fans were left stunned by a result that came just a week on from having to grind out a win against Japan.
Celebrities were also quick to congratulate the team with Gavin and Stacey star Ruth Jones sharing her disbelief in an Instagram post.
Three times Wales led by 14 points, and for the first time in history they scored five tries against New Zealand, but ultimately it was heroic defensive work that denied the visitors.
All Blacks head coach Dave Rennie made eight changes from the side that swept past Scotland in their previous Nations Championship game.
But the approach backfired spectacularly after a brilliant performance sparked astonishing scenes in Cardiff.
A crowd of 55,152 could scarcely believe what had unfolded, and there were scenes of wild celebration with players in tears as Wales began taking in arguably the most famous win of their 145-year Test match history.
