Well as admitted supporter from afar of Wales, I was stoked to no end with result.
Bloody good stuff, and although there plenty of empty seats at stadium, the Welsh fans that stuck with them and went truly looked like they got rewarded!!

Don’t forget a sub-capacity Principality Stadium is still ‘fuller’ than most stadiums around the world

Yep, and it wasn't like they were playing England etc where visiting supporters could just go down on train.

On behalf of the Welsh team, thank you
Wales have shown the depths a good team can get to if they don’t get their overall house in order. NZRFU please take note!
After a cpl bad experiences with Taff fans, I developed a genuine dislike of their team.
However, it seems time does indeed heal old wounds as I took great pleasure in seeing their growth this 6N.

It's funny as this would have been my experience too, except when I really put any thought to it. My experiences with seemingly most Welsh fans on the interweb has been pretty awful - gloating when they win, rabidly anti-English and whingers when they lose. However thinking on my experiences at both Twickenham and Cardiff the majority of the Welsh fans I've seen have been pretty level headed and fair. Passionate for sure and just so bloody happy when they win (esp v England) but always good to talk with.
The UK sporting media AKA The Taffia though is a different matter.
Anyway, on to the game. Well done Wales and congrats to @mikethesnow and @pooler-fan and all other Taffs on here. Good to see an improvement in belief and attitude etc. I'll admit that I wanted Italy to win to give them their first set of 3 wins in the tournament but they failed to/weren't allowed to, turn up until 60 minutes had gone.
