- Wales scored five tries through Tomos Williams, Dewi Lake, Archie Griffin, Eddie James, and Louis Rees-Zammit, with Sam Costelow converting each to secure the historic triumph.
- Commentator Gareth Rhys Owen said, "Enjoy this if you are Welsh," as celebrations erupted, noting generations of Welsh players had never achieved such an extraordinary afternoon.
