'We've waited 73 years to be here' - Wales fans ecstatic after win over New Zealand
Steve Tandy's side break a 34-match losing streak against the All Blacks that dates back to 1953.
After 73 years of waiting, Wales rugby fans erupted into jubilant celebrations after securing a thrilling 35-28 victory over New Zealand in a highly-anticipated Nations Championship match at the Principality Stadium. The All Blacks' 34-match winning streak against Wales, which began in 1953, finally came to an end in Cardiff. Wales fans were left stunned by the result, which followed a previous victory against Japan just a week earlier.
Prince William, patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, praised the team, calling it a "fantastic result." Three times during the match, Wales led by 14 points, and they managed to score five tries against New Zealand, a first in history. However, it was their outstanding defensive efforts that ultimately secured the win. The electrifying atmosphere in Cardiff left the crowd in disbelief, with players visibly emotional as they reflected on the historic achievement.
