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.
