There may have been only 55,152 spectators at the ground, which was the lowest attendance for a Wales v New Zealand match at the Principality Stadium, but they powered the home side to a famous victory.
Lake summed up the events at the final whistle while on the sidelines after being substituted.
“It was almost like you blocked some things out,” Lake said.
“You could hear the noise, but it was like background noise. I think I stopped watching with a minute and 20 seconds to go and just waited for the whistle, which I had done before, but this one was different.
“To celebrate with the boys that you work hard with every day and the coaches that come to make you better, it’s an incredible feeling.
Lock Jenkins said before the match he was asking for Monday off if Wales beat New Zealand, with Tandy’s side facing Australia in Cardiff next Saturday.
“We have to savor these moments, because history tells us it doesn’t happen very often, and we have to make sure we enjoy them,” Tandy said.
“I’m sure all the rugby clubs are going to be celebrating tonight, but it’s about making sure that when we arrive, maybe Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning, if Daf gets what he wants, we’ll be ready to work.
“Because Australia will be a different test.”
That can wait while Wales consider whether to end New Zealand’s seven decades of dominance over them.
