威尔士35比28击败新西兰全黑队：五次达阵终结73年不胜、结束34连败
威尔士橄榄球队11月14日在 Cardiff 的 Principality Stadium 以35比28击败新西兰全黑队，在国家锦标赛中拿下自1953年以来对全黑队的第一场胜利，终结了对这个对手的34连败。
威尔士全场打出五次达阵：Tomos Williams 与队长 Dewi Lake 开场先后达阵，Archie Griffin 上半场再添一次，两队半场以21比21战平；下半场 Eddie James 与 Louis Rees-Zammit 又先后达阵，Sam Costelow 五次附加踢全部命中。新西兰由 Cortez Ratima、Wallace Sititi、Fehi Fineanganofo 与 Peter Lakai 四次达阵、Richie Mo'unga 四次附加踢命中，一度把分差追到7分，但最后阶段一波接一波的进攻都被威尔士防线挡下，威尔士全场从未落后。
这场胜利对近年低迷的威尔士橄榄球是一剂强心针：球队在上届世界杯后曾创下18连败的队史纪录，过去三年32场国际比赛只赢下5场，上周末对日本也只是以28比21勉强取胜。
威尔士主教练 Steve Tandy 说，球员和工作人员过去15个月付出的努力在这一天得到了回报，球队打出了难以置信的表现，面对新西兰下半场的反扑也没有怀疑自己。队长 Dewi Lake 说，这支球队经历过艰难时刻也经历过好时光，这场胜利是全队应得的。

Wales Beat New Zealand 35-28 With Five Tries to End a 73-Year Wait for a Win Over the All Blacks
Wales beat New Zealand 35-28 at Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Saturday, November 14, scoring five tries to record their first victory over the All Blacks since 1953 and end a run of 34 successive defeats against them in the Nations Championship.
Wales scored through Tomos Williams and captain Dewi Lake early on and through Archie Griffin before halftime, with the teams level at 21-21 at the break. Eddie James and Louis Rees-Zammit added second-half tries, and Sam Costelow converted all five. New Zealand replied with tries from Cortez Ratima, Wallace Sititi, Fehi Fineanganofo and Peter Lakai, all converted by Richie Mo'unga, and closed to within seven points, but wave after wave of late attacks was repelled by the Welsh defence. Wales never trailed.
The result is a major lift for Welsh rugby after a difficult period: the team endured a record run of 18 successive defeats following the last World Cup and had won only five of 32 internationals over the last three years, including an unconvincing 28-21 win over Japan last weekend.
Wales coach Steve Tandy said the effort his players and staff had put in over the last 15 months got what it deserved, calling it an unbelievable performance, and praised the team for staying composed when New Zealand came back at them. Captain Dewi Lake said the group deserved the result after the tough times it had been through.
