Video summary

Press to jump

  1. 2:10Tomos Williams gives Wales an early try after Louis Rees-Zammit's kick-chase.
  2. 6:34Archie Griffin powers over for his first Test try.
  3. 12:17Rees-Zammit finishes a wide attack in the right corner.
  4. 14:50The final whistle settles the Cardiff contest.

Tomos Williams gets Wales started, chasing Louis Rees-Zammit's kick for an early try. By the final whistle in Cardiff, the All Blacks are on the wrong side of a result Wales have waited since 1953 to repeat.

The official channel's Nations Championship mini match follows Wales to a 35-28 victory at Principality Stadium. New Zealand erase an early deficit to reach half-time level, but second-half tries from Eddie James and Rees-Zammit give them another gap to close. Peter Lakai's reply brings the All Blacks within reach, without completing the comeback.

The replay has drawn roughly 160,000 views in its opening eleven hours, an unusually fast start for a regular video on this channel. The post-match press conference is also attracting a much larger audience than usual.

Yet the conversation underneath the mini match isn't simply about who scored. Viewers repeatedly pick out Wales's late defensive effort, with one asking why the closing stretch gets so little room in an edit built around tries. Others focus on Tomos Williams, or on Grant Nisbett and Mils Muliaina's commentary as they call a historic result against New Zealand.

The channel has also made room for the aftermath beyond the press conference: a dressing-room upload centres on leaving the sheds as they found them, while another shows the All Blacks acknowledging the Cardiff crowd.

  • 58 to 80 mins missing any highlight is an injustice. Highlights need to show more than just tries. Some of those held up tries were amazing.
  • If Tomos Williams was a kiwi he would be talked about as a generational talent such a class player

  • Underestimate any Wales team at your peril! A very special rugby nation. Dissapointing, no doubt for NZ but isn't sport just a great thing?!

    Hope we meet in a few weeks guys. From an Irish fan.

  • A match that will go down in history and I'm very proud to say as a Welshman it's because Wales played well. Abs weren't poor.
