ByGareth GriffithsBBC Sport Wales

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.
