Finally watching Wales play in person and not behind a TV screen is like a dream to me. Just thinking about the experience, it was godly and I would do anything to be there right now.

The Beginning.

Getting into Cardiff was not that bad, I got into Cardiff Central (CDF) at around 13:20, giving me plenty of time around Cardiff before the match started. The weird thing was though, Cardiff was not busy what so ever. Yes it had a lot of people, but I would not call it busy what so ever.

The Stadium…

The closer you got to the stadium, the more it felt real. A proper bucket list item being ticked off. Somewhere you see often but never get the chance to walk up to, let alone watch a game inside of her.

I got there as all the pre-match entertainment was starting and this was honestly incredible. From boxing champions to a Pre-Match Light Show, Powered by Vodafone. Once that was over, we then went into the national anthems. These were emotional, especially hearing the Welsh anthem.

When the match then started after the All Blacks did the Haka (Kapa Haka in Māori). It was just how emersive the crowd makes the game, this is through different sounds, smells (from food), and other elements. With me though I am just constantly calculating different methods of how one could achieve a try.

During Half Time, a DJ duo called The Stickman Project did a brilliant set with some great tunes and honestly, made it feel like Hi Ibiza or Ushuaia.

After that, we went into the 2nd half. Sadly though we got hammered by the All Blacks. But, they did get three tries in a row not called for. Every TMO review became a comedy show due to obvious blindess from the refs. But, she was a brill ref overall. My only comment is that Taine Plumtree did quite a few errors which caused a Yellow Card and a Review Yellow/Red card.
