Welsh triumphed 25-7 in a pulsating atmosphere at the Millennium Stadium to clinch its first title since 2013 and first Grand Slam for winning all five matches since 2012. The win also extended Wales' record to 14 straight victories in its last competitive encounter before the World Cup. "I'm proud of the players, it's not about me," said Gatland, who becomes the first coach in history to win three Grand Slams. Wales captain Alun Wyn Jones told the BBC: "Anything can happen when you work hard and you're a proud nation and we've shown that. New Zealand has won the last two Rugby World Cups and both Gatland and Ireland coach Joe Schmidt are Kiwis.
