Wing Shane Williams scored a Welsh record 41st try as Wales beat France 29-12 today to clinch their second Six Nations grand slam in four years.

Flyhalf James Hook kicked nine points as Wales took a 9-6 halftime lead, scrumhalf Jean-Baptiste Elissalde replying with the first two of his three penalties.

Stephen Jones, on for Hook, kicked 10 points in the second half including the conversion of Williams's try, which broke the record the winger shared with Gareth Thomas.

Dimitri Yachvili kicked a fourth penalty for France and flanker Martyn Williams, persuaded back out of post-World Cup retirement for the tournament, added a late second try for the Welsh.
