Steve Tandy's men created history with a 35-28 victory at Principality Stadium thanks to a stirring defensive effort.

Wales scored five tries - a national record against New Zealand - but it was their effort without the ball that ended a 34-game losing streak against the All Blacks.

The home side made 346 tackles, with lock Dafydd Jenkins topping the chart with 38, and held the New Zealanders up over the line three times in the second half to protect their seven-point lead.

"It felt like a brick wall at times, so you have to give them credit," said full-back Barrett, who captained New Zealand in a Test for the first time.

"You give opportunities for the crowd to come into the game, and we are well aware of that when we come here.

"That's why it's one of the best places to play rugby - it feels like you are playing 16 or 17."

Dave Rennie claimed an unwanted piece of history as the first All Blacks coach to lose to Wales in 73 years.

The former Glasgow boss admitted New Zealand "certainly got out-passioned" but had no regrets about his selection.

The All Blacks made eight changes to their starting line-up between their win against Scotland and their trip to England in the final Nations Championship group game.

"We had a good enough side on the field to win, and if you look at the stats, we had plenty of opportunities and the guys created a lot of chances," said Rennie.

"We just weren't clinical enough, and they were very good defensively.

"I have no regret around the side that we picked, as I've talked about previously, there is really good competition for places.

"There's not a lot between certain positions."

Beaten All Blacks climb above Springboks

New Zealand still inched above South Africa, who lost a thriller in France on Friday, into top spot in the southern hemisphere table.

If the All Blacks win with a bonus point at Twickenham on Saturday (14:10 GMT), they will secure top spot before the Springboks' game in Ireland (20:10 GMT).

"It hurts, but you've got to take it on the chin," said Rennie, who took over from Scott Robertson at the start of the year.

"We weren't good enough; Wales were passionate and every time they kept us out, they grew and became harder to break down.

"We've got to be better, we expect a lot more of ourselves, and I need to see a response at Twickenham."
