It is Wales third RBS 6 Nations Grand Slam in eight seasons.
Wales scored the only try of the match via Alex Cuthbert's first-half effort and Leigh Halfpenny added the conversion and three penalties to seal the win, meaning further three-pointers from Yachvili and Lionel Beauxis were not enough for France.

England finished second after beating Ireland 30-9 after leading 9-6 at halftime.
England's forward pack obliterated the Irish scrume and earned their reward with the first try of the match - a penalty try. Ben Youngs then came off the bench to score England's second try from a quick tap penalty that had been earned by his forward pack.
