Shaun Edwards says he opted to leave Wales for France because they offered him twice the length of contract that the Welsh Rugby Union did. The defence coach told Scrum V he was offered a two-year Wales deal. He was part of a Wales coaching team that won four Six Nations titles and three Grand Slams. But the last Six Nations went well for us all [Wales won the Grand Slam] and I got offered a few jobs after that." In his first assignment, Wales won 26-19 at Twickenham - their first victory there in 20 years - and went on to win the 2008 Grand Slam.
