Wales secured a historic 35-28 victory over New Zealand at the Principality Stadium, their first win over the All Blacks in 73 years, in a Nations Championship encounter that left players overwhelmed with emotion.
James Botham, named player of the match, was in tears at the final whistle and was comforted by his team-mates as a crowd of 55,152 witnessed what has been described as arguably the most famous win in Wales' 145-year Test match history.
Emotional Reaction from Man of the Match
Botham, who is due to become a father for the first time next week, was asked straight after the game if it was the best day of his life, to which he replied: "Absolutely".
Speaking to ITV after being crowned man of the match, he said: "I can't even describe my emotions. Emotions are running high."
He added the performance came from "belief", saying: "The crowd got behind us and the energy the crowd brought helped us. We have got to thank them all."
Ending 73 Years of Hurt
Botham said it would be "rude" not to celebrate with his family and wife Izzy after the game ahead of his baby's arrival on Tuesday.
The All Blacks had reeled off 34 successive victories at Wales' expense since being beaten by them in 1953, but Steve Tandy's team achieved the unexpected after a Cardiff classic.
Botham added: "It shows how much we have come together as a team."
