Wales fans watching at the Welsh Dragon Bar in Wellington, New Zealand, celebrated a historic 35-28 victory over the All Blacks, the nation's first win against New Zealand in 73 years.
The bar, owned by Hannah Williams from Wrexham and Andrew Jones from Tonyrefail, describes itself as 'the only Welsh bar in the southern hemisphere'. Owners and patrons got up at 3am to watch the match, with the early start proving worthwhile.
Jubilant scenes at full-time
Williams and Jones were joined by several other Wales fans for the game, and posted a video on social media capturing the nail-biting finale and the jubilation of victory. Several fans in Wales shirts can be seen on the edge of their seats before rising to their feet to cheer at full-time.
Some of them can then be seen joining in a huddle, before shouting and jumping with joy, clearly unable to fully process what they had just seen.
Kiwis react with grace
The locals were probably just as stunned, although judging by the reaction on social media, a fair number of Kiwis are taking it all pretty well. "As a Kiwi im so happy for u all," one fan wrote. "Obviously gutted as a Kiwi but seeing this makes me genuinely happy coz we understand there has been generations of those blokes fathers and grandfathers who have waited for this moment and some never got to see this moment. Congratulations Wales."
Another wrote: "From a Māori & All Blacks fan I grew up on watching the old games on video 60s 70s 80s etc well done wales & the welsh a class game by you lads."
