| Wales gained their second Grand Slam in four years, their tenth in total, the first being exactly 100 years ago. This was France's first Championship loss in Cardiff since 1996. | |||||||
| Shane Williams' try put him at the top of the all-time Welsh try scoring list. Ian Gough was playing his 50th test for Wales as did Duncan Jones when he came on as a replacement. | |||||||
| Yellow card: Henson (40) | |||||||
