  "account": "Cardiff, Wales (AP) — After 34 consecutive losses to the All Blacks, Wales captain Dewi Lake declared that his team believed in their ability to defeat New Zealand before their historic 35-28 victory on Saturday. Despite receiving criticism from former internationals and having a mere 4% chance of winning according to odds-makers, Wales emerged victorious, ending a 73-year legacy of heartbreak at the hands of the New Zealand team. Coach Steve Tandy expressed his pride in the team's growth and performance, highlighting their hard work and dedication. Tandy's halftime speech was praised by Lake as \"outstanding.\" The Welsh team's efforts were evident in their 344 tackles against the All Blacks' 134, finally silencing the fans at Principality Stadium after a long drought.",
