## Key points

- Wales beat New Zealand for the first time since 1953.
- A record five tries and 346 tackles powered the win.
- Rennie wants an All Blacks response at Twickenham.

## Summary

Wales beat New Zealand 35-28 at the Principality Stadium, ending a 34-match losing streak against the All Blacks and recording their first win over them since 1953. Beauden Barrett said Wales’ defence felt like a “brick wall”, as the hosts held firm to secure a landmark result.

Wales scored a record five tries against New Zealand and made 346 tackles, with Dafydd Jenkins leading the team with 38. They held New Zealand up over the line three times in the second half. Coach Dave Rennie said his side lacked precision despite creating chances, and called for a response against England at Twickenham; a bonus-point win there would secure top spot in the southern hemisphere table.
