Grand slam heroes

It was an electric atmosphere at the Millenium Stadium Saturday as Wales disposed of the French in a heroic and professional manner. The French battled long and hard against the Welsh defence but despite having 70% of the possession they could not muster up a single try. A man of the match performance by Martyn Williams could not have been completed better for the man brought out of retirement as he scored the final try for Wales to seal the Six Nations Grand Slam.

Now Warren Gatland has issued a chilling message to rivals by saying he is now eyeing up a World Championship with the Wales squad. The Wales coach believes that the squad are in great shape to go to South Africa and have a good go at the World Cup.

Another startling statistic that Wales can boast is that they only conceded twice throughout the whole tournament, bettering the previous record of four set by England when they won the World Cup in 2002-2003.
