John Jenkins was eight-years old the last time Wales beat New Zealand, and without a TV, he was not able to watch the game.
Now 81, he has seen his team beat the All Blacks.
John, who now lives in Shropshire but travels for every match, said he has been present at all of the big occasions in Welsh rugby, and Wales’ win against New Zealand was the “most memorable”.
“I’m not a gambling man, and if I’d known how to place a bet, I would have bet on Wales because I had this gut feeling that we were going to win.
“Everybody in the last 20 minutes was so anxious,” he said.
His daughter Hannah, 50, who also travels to every match despite living in Chichester, said “it felt like a party in the first half, we couldn’t quite believe what was happening”.
John said: “For 10 minutes after the final whistle, Hannah was sobbing on my shoulder.”
Hannah said: “For me and dad to be able to go and watch it together, I keep thinking about turning and looking at his face after we scored the first try – we were just kind of incredulous.”
A couple celebrating their wedding day had to delay the speeches by 15 minutes as their guests had to see out the game.
Photographer Rhian Jones, 32, from Ammanford, who captured the celebrations, said the “entirety of the wedding breakfast were on their phones”.
“The atmosphere was just so intense, people were screaming, it was incredible and everyone was on edge.
“The bride actually said she felt such a pressure because she was so scared that they were going to lose on her wedding day and obviously it would have dampened the spirit, but of course we didn’t,” she said.
“We celebrated the couple, celebrated the victory and it was incredible.”
She added none of the guests at the wedding in Carmarthen had seen that in their lifetime.
“I tried to edit during the wedding breakfast but I didn’t edit anything and I just sat on there with the saxophonist and videographer watching my phone which is very unprofessional, but what are you going to do when it’s making history.
“I can’t wait to tell my children, and certainly they will be telling their children this in years to come.”
