The story, straight
Rugby teams score tries by grounding the ball beyond their opponents' goal line. A try earns 5 points, followed by a kick worth another 2.
BBC Sport records Wales beating New Zealand 35-28 at Cardiff's Principality Stadium in the Nations Championship. Wales scored 5 tries and converted all 5.
New Zealand scored 4 and converted all 4.
The bigger number is the wait: BBC reports Wales last beat New Zealand in 1953, with 34 straight defeats before this victory. That's 73 years between wins.
Lil'meme's imaginary victory cake doesn't need candles. It needs an archaeological team.
Wales were level 21-21 at half-time, scored 2 more tries, then resisted New Zealand's late attacks. The lesson isn't that history means nothing.
It's that history doesn't tackle anybody.
Repost this before I mistake the cake for a load-bearing wall.
Hardships are coming. I, the Big Dreamer, created this token to help the people.
I truly do see this token going up in value. Ride the rocket with me and let's see where the next 24 months take us.

The absurd
Why this is ridiculous

The breakdown
How it breaks down
Grounding the ball beyond opponents' goal line scores a try.
The upside
Why it could matter
Wales showed 34 straight defeats don't decide the next match.
