Grand Slam 2008


So it has come to pass that three years later a team has arisen from the bitter ashes of Nantes to conquer Europe once more. Gatland, Edwards and Howley have won a Grand Slam by breaking three of the long running ducks.


1. First win at Twickenham since 1988.

2. First win in Dublin since 2000.

3. First Championship win vs France in Cardiff since 1996.

Though interestingly enough the current series at Stade De France is 3-3.


Here are the pictures. This is only the first step on a long road.
