• On December 16th, 1905, the undefeated Welsh Dragons hosted the New Zealand All Blacks in Cardiff during the latter’s historic 35-stop world tour. Before the match, the All Blacks performed their famous haka (a ceremonial Māori dance), prompting the 47,000-strong crowd to respond with a hearty rendition of the Welsh national anthem, “Land of our Fathers”; it was allegedly the first time a national anthem had been sung before a sporting fixture. Wales defeated the All Blacks - the only team to do so during the course of their tour - in what was to become one of history’s most legendary (and controversial) rugby matches.
