A win over the world champions in South Africa is an achievement at any time, but when it's a history-making one, your first out there, that makes it extra special.
Huge, huge congratulations to Wayne Pivac and his team.
Despite picking a second choice XV, the Springboks still had the bulk of possession and the territorial advantage, which means the basis of our triumph was down to tenacity, an outstanding defensive performance and an ability to keep our composure and strike when the opportunity did arise at the end. In contrast, the world champions lost their way by the middle of the second half, frustrated by our defensive resolve, ran out of ideas and started making errors through indiscipline.

Let's be honest, most of us were anticipating Wales being on the wrong end of a 3-0 whitewash, but that was before we knew the South African coach Jacques Nienaber would in effect put out a development team. Maybe he should have pushed for a three game tour, but only the first and third games as Test matches, with the middle one more of a development one to see what his players are capable of.
Whatever, you can only beat what's put in front of you and Wales took full advantage of the huge changes made by the Springboks. The only disappointing aspect for me was our creaking lineout, bad set piece habits returning, but these can be easily addressed in time for Saturday's decider when the Boks doubtless will have their big beasts back and come out guns blazing.
They'll do what South Africa always do best, physical up front, strong set piece, rolling mauls. Can we match the challenge once more and look to win it again in the closing quarter? It will be fascinating to watch, but the Boks will have a new respect for us after Bloemfontein.
With momentum behind Wales, Pivac needs to do the exact opposite of Nienaber and keep changes to an absolute minimum, I feel. Some selections will be enforced. With Alex Cuthbert unlikely to start, Josh Adams will come back on the wing, but given his tryscoring prowess that hardly weakens the side.
Dillon Lewis also seems likely to be out, meaning young Sam Wanwright coming in at tighthead. Clearly there's a risk there with a rookie going up against the famed Sprinkgboks' scrum, but Wainwright fared well when he came on in Bloemtontein and looks as if he has a good career ahead of him.
I argued last week that Dewi Lake should get his opportunity as starting hooker, but I don't feel he made the most of it when coming on for Ryan Elias in the second half. Thus I'd stick with the Scarlets man, he carried well, did a lot of work in defence and was solid enough in the set piece.
So it should be same again really for me, other than those two enforced changes. That includes fly-half and also scrum-half, where I thought Kieran Hardy put the world champions in trouble with clever box kicking they struggled to cope with at times and he should get the nod again.
I know Emyr Lewis has said Gareth Anscombe should start, and I understand why, but if Dan Biggar is fit I feel he has to be No.10 again because I'm not in favour of changing the captain mid-tour. With Alun Wyn Jones not playing well enough to take back his place at the expense of Will Rowlands, it looks as though Pivac might be planning for the next World Cup with Biggar as his skipper.
If so, and provided Biggar recovers from his shoulder problem, leave well alone, however well Anscombe performed when coming on at the weekend.
He should get his opportunity anyway at some point in the third Test, once the game has started to open up a little bit, and hopefully get us over the line again, give our backs more of an opportunity with the type of clever passing we saw to set up Adams' matchwinning try.
I do think we have a lot more to offer behind. Adams is a wonderful finisher, we saw what Louis Rees-Zammit can do with ball in hand during the first Test, throw George North into that mix as well, plus Liam Williams, and the skillset behind is not in question.
It's maximising that talent in the backline that is important. Wales have won, but can improve still further and that's a good position to be in.
Wales will probably need that extra dimension to their game anyway given the onslaught that will be coming their way from a wounded Springboks' first XV. What the weekend reminded me of a little was the way Warren Gatland used to change his side significantly for the autumn Test against a tier two nation; or indeed the unnecessary changes Pivac made against Italy in the Six Nations finale.
You lose your rhythm and flow. We've seen that before with Wales; we saw it with the Springboks on Saturday.
As I say, the big guns will be back for the decider and sadly it may prove too much for Wales. But at least they'll have a bit more respect for what we can offer. And that hoodoo of never winning out there has finally been banished.
For good. Well done the Class of 2022.
