When Wales faced New Zealand in the Rugby World Cup bronze play-off final today, there was no love lost between the two sides as both looked to redeem themselves following disappointing semi-final results.
Despite a strong effort against the All Blacks' onslaught, the former world champions reigned supreme and the scoreline ended 40-17.
But after the final whistle, players and staff from the two proud rugby nations came together to take stock of what had been a tough tournament in Japan.
After embracing and congratulating each other on the pitch, Wales players and staff soon headed to the All Blacks dressing room.
Warren Gatland and Steve Hansen, both leaving their respective roles following today's game, were pictured sharing a drink over a post-match chat in the bowels of Tokyo Stadium.
Wales' Jonathan Davies was snapped exchanging jerseys with All Black Ryan Crotty after the Kiwi's last game for his country.
Elsewhere, Angus Ta'Avao and Richie Mo'Unga of New Zealand posed for a picture with teammates while donning Welsh jerseys.
Speaking about his great rival Hansen, Gatland said ahead of the game: "What he’s achieved as a coach is absolutely outstanding in terms of how many times they’ve defended the Bledisloe Cup, the number of championship wins as well, and winning two World Cups – one as an assistant and one as a head coach.
"There is no doubt he’ll leave a legacy behind in terms of what he’s achieved as an All Black coach. It’s outstanding.
"Very much like me he started in Wales and learned a lot and I’ve learned a lot too from my time as an international coach."
