Did that really happen? Or was it just a dream?
As Welsh rugby fans wake up on Sunday morning the realisation will dawn on them.
It has happened. Wales have finally beaten the All Blacks again.
For the first time in 73 years - after 34 defeats - 19 December, 1953 is now joined by 14 November 2026 as a defining date in Welsh rugby history.
Thousands of young kids will this morning be turning up to rugby training or matches, driven by parents who have a hint of a headache, with this magical day fresh in the memory.
Steve Tandy‘s heroes will always have this moment, with inspirational captain Dewi Lake and player-of-the-match James Botham shedding tears.
“Best day of my life,” concluded Wales centre Eddie James.
It was a result that sent shockwaves throughout Wales but also around the sporting world.
Friends and relatives who had not been in contact for ages messaged each other to revel in or discuss the result.
People reminisced that their parents or grandparents never saw this day.
There was jubilation in Cardiff but also disbelief at the timing and magnitude of the occasion.
Welsh rugby has been in disarray since the end of the 2023 World Cup after so many of the golden generation retired.
