Wales Grand Slam 2008 - The last 5 minutes

The last 5 exciting minutes of Wales' grand slam win in 2008, with the Millennium Stadium in full voice

[@taffboyslim]

After all these years, I have only just noticed Gethin Jenkins' little backheel at 1:10 to make sure the ball came back to the Welsh side. Brilliant player at the breakdown

[@93DGJ]

Leigh Byrne was absolutely amazing. His defence and attack work from fullback was phenomenal. Genuinely one of the best fullbacks of this era

[@jamesmckay-mount8689]

That run from mark Jones. O what a try that would have been

[@welshnproud59]

This is one of the many reasons I am proud to be Welsh 😊

[@zonnyzunny]

One metre away from the best try ever in a Welsh shirt - great run by Mark Jones.

[@adewale007]

Its a stunning run.

[@trefinboy]

I was there and I still get goosebumps watching this!

[@donaldedward4951]

Last thrilling 5 minutes at Millenium Stadium in Cardiff. The French are good but the Welsh are better. With respect, American Football fans, look at this and weep. Your game to me looks so much like trench warfare with armour. I see it vcos I loive in Canada. This Rugby Football is a game of movement. Enjoy this for ever. Cymry am byth. Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi.

[@JohnWilliams-oh6vf]

Diolch Warren, where it all began, you've been outstanding to the players, other coaches and an asset to the nation, and boy have they responded to your actions ;) Diolch yn fawr iti! 3 Grand Slams, championship, QF and a SF in World Cup in 11 years speaks for itself.. He should be knighted, and an absolute gent ;) Cymru am Byth!

[@del_boy_trotter]

And shamefully, no new contract(s) for a *_single member of what has been the greatest coaching team for over 10 years!!_* Aren't we lucky we can *_afford to discard_* the most successful coaching/backroom team in the entire history of the 5/6 nations tourament!! *_(NOT!!)_*

[@owskie1981]

Perfect to whet the appetite thanks for posting this!

[@RSportsVideos]

Another year. Another six nations title that I must acknowledge. Wonderful stuff.

[@randomke7ab]

When's the 2023 GrandSlam coming? 🤷

[@RSportsVideos]

This youtube video was very briefly and vaguely featured in the Welsh Grand Slam documentary shown on BBC Two Wales tonight. The pride is overwhelming; tears everywhere.

[@mikerobbo84]

5:56 Sums up this beautiful game for me! Absolutely over the moon celebrating but as soon as Lee Byrne sees the opposition he immediately consoles him, no gloating or anything. True sportsmanship.

[@del_boy_trotter]

Absolutely mate, same as the magnanimous-in-defeat (30-3) Mike Brown!!

[@SwissCheese112]

i loved that old school team we had, but i really love our current team as well

[@wisch6414]

what about now

[@apritchard2010]

sooo honoured to be there for martyn williams 100th cap... god bless that man

[@toffieandsooty]

That is what you call rugby! Outstanding play from MARK JONES, the Scarlets wing, Lee Byrne and Martyn Williams and the whole squad. WALES are one of the best teams to watch in the world! 75,000 people shouting and singing bread of heaven, awesome! Come on Cymru, come on WALES!!!

[@shaun30-3-mg9zs]

I remember this game like it was yesterday, Cymru am Byth

[@stuartthompson8056]

Wales and France were so much more entertaining then. And Wales got one of their many Grand Slams that year. I don't remember this match particularly well but I remember watching Wales come back from a very significant half time deficit against England. Also, I remember it was a year with some grounds for positivity by us Scots - we beat England that year.

[@AnnaRoberts9]

Can not believe I'll be seeing this...THIS!!! in the Millenuim Stadium this month!!!

[@callummj6747]

i was there in 05, and in 08, and i'm there this weekend, COME ON WALES!!!!!!!!

[@burnsyboyy7534]

What a run by Mark Jones

[@LivvLewis19]

I want to thumbs up this more than once :')

[@butterfly0flutterby]

so incredibly proud to be Welsh. can't wait to hit Cardiff tonight, the atmosphere is electric!

[@Lemmywinks1989]

Here's to 2016 in a couple of days! Cymru am byth!!

[@Stevenbfg]

+SockPuppet89. Only England or France can win the grand slam now ;)

[@rhysjamieson3266]

+Scuba Steve were on 2 points we'll smash u win rest of the games Ireland will lose to u or France away so we'll win

[@zisssssou]

+SockPuppet89 Amusing, really

[@DarkLight753]

Here's to 2018 in a couple of days. Greetings from Abertawe.

[@ham-ker-chief7804]

@@DarkLight753 Here's to 2019, with one match to go

[@Red-Revolution708]

Only two tries amazing defence yet again wins the Grand Slam .

[@hopelesstrail]

history shall repeat itself!

[@givemethelotion]

every single welsh player on excellent form

[@RSportsVideos]

Hopefully Wales win the Grand Slam this year, and hopefully the last 5 minutes of this year's six nations are as exciting as these 5 minutes...

[@Joffa85]

Beautiful running rugby football 🏉

[@Xicansuckmynuts]

Wales Wales

[@pauldavies4496]

[@TheLoveDoc2008]

Every 1 of those guys in red is welcome in my home any time.....Gatland can even sit in my chair and have the remote for the tele...

[@baboon2525]

here's hoping....the team of 2011 >> the team of 2008 though, as good as that one was. There is lots of hope.

[@rocksoliddude1]

history is repeating itself can we do it again against france for the grand slam in 2012?

[@buffaloboyable]

where are you from?

[@sergedocc2011]

galles pour toujours

[@mizofan]

+serge d occ Merci :)

[@johnjones-ri2lb]

Duncan Jones! Makes you think how may caps The great Gethin Jenkins would have had if Duncan could have been relatively injury free. I believe twice selected for the Lions but had to pull out injured.

[@schnozz87]

Although still playing pretty well at club level for Clermont!

[@WhittakerTara]

I live in Ireland but im fully welsh and as u all know its st patricks day and i have to tape the match because im goin to a bloody parade

[@TheJonny1970]

Just Italy to steam roll and then the little matter of the French again! Here's hoping for a repeat of 08!!!

[@rhysaldo]

Have you learnt a lesson not to think you're better than anyone? 'Now watch England whip your arse in the least match for us'. Oh, the irony. Priceless.

[@rocksoliddude1]

saturday's game was much harder than this one

[@FriekSnipz]

the good old days when rugby was skill and not muscle and bulk

[@1fatdan]

wales isnt my favourite team but i feel sorry for them that they were like less than a metre to a try

[@scarletsgirly]

triple crown wales role on 20+ point victory agaised italy in couple of weeks whoop whoop :P

[@officialgazj]

3:32 where'd the ball go!?

[@scarletturk3892]

???

[@callumclyne5546]

Gaz J Ik I’m late but if u play it at 0.25 speed u can see the French guy knocks it on but Ryan Jones is blocking our view of the ball when it comes back to Wales

[@jammyman78]

@taweraster well when Wales are playing at their best pre grand slam 2005 they only lost by 1 point to NZ and the grand slam 2008 they were in control against NZ for 50 minutes so when they play like this they can almost destroy NZ

[@gergis]

It's going to be messy in Cardiff tonight.

[@mattprice6590]

Oh dear

[@mutsnuts1989]

Yes and what ever happened to Lee Byrne after this. Not playing half as good as then.

[@schnozz87]

I think around this time Lee Byrne was possibly the best fullback in the world. Not so much now sadly...

[@TheVice57]

défense catastrophique de la france

[@H4ssell]

ITALY VS WALES TOMORROW!!

[@WhittakerTara]

Do the same thing again tday

[@syedafatema72]

Ryan jones

[@taweraster]

@OfficialArma Except the All Blacks. They do this every time they tour.

[@derekwalker5779]

Ancient history prehaps?

[@jonesthephones]

We need a new law for Rugby Union, to stop dreadful time-wasting so many teams seem to have to do nowadays, which no one wants to watch.... How about this? Like football, where goalkeepers have just 6 secs to play the ball, we need a new law where, once the ref declares that the ball is AVAILABLE from a ruck, the team in possession has just 3 seconds to play it. I can hear the ref saying "Available... 1, 2, 3..." after which the defending side can come around and claim the ball.. Whaddya think?

[@scarletsgirly]

whats to bet the 1 dislike is french thumbs up if u agree

[@aAdamToRemember]

@RSportsVideos i was just thinking the same thing before i scrolled down :) i hope ireland smash france first just to put them at a disadvantage !!

[@JohnPanto]

Now let's have all the supporters learn and speak our language every day and not just sing Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau. Please,Please, it's not hard. Plenty of help available.

[@ThEWarpstr]

Come on Sam Warbs......do the same thing today, Cymru am byth......so excited!

[@jonesthephones]

Why thank you for your kind feedback...! OK FIVE seconds. P.S. If I could talk out of my arse, I'd be making money out of it. No need to be offensive you plonker

[@JohnRock14]

U MAD? HAHAHAH WHAT WAS THE SCORE??

[@24674107]

still shouting wales wales

[@FriekSnipz]

any1 else notice Ian Evans block the french player when Martyn Williams makes the break!?!@£$%^

[@EnglishRuggers25]

well done wales, if only they could put those performances on against the southern hemisphere teams

[@eddyd63]

@jammyman78 destroy nz? the last time that wales beat nz was in the 50s! im not even from the southern hemisphere but i dont need to be that biased to realise your chatting rubbish. shows how deluded the welsh are at the moment, until they start beating the southern hemisphere teams home and away they can forget all their dreaming of being a great team. dominance in the 6 nations does not mean world domination. ie england in 2011, win 6 nations, nowhere in the world cup

[@ostrogoth182]

How to be English: 1. Why would you want to be.

[@MrHipHopJop]

English people's comments are so mad

[@mocyoung]

This was such an unusual grand slam in so many ways... coming back from the death to see off England, totally outlasting the Irish, and then massacaring the French. Who'dve thunk it?

[@silencedbadger]

4:44 - 2 Welsh against nearly 5 French and the Frenchys aren't getting anywhere! What does that say about the mighty Welsh? :)

[@RSportsVideos]

How to be English: 1. Go on Welsh KZbin videos to talk about leeks and spell iechyd da wrong.

[@scottwilliams542]

stroke of luck when english fell asleep on them? PSH. don't make me laugh, SAES.

[@smiddy236]

Basic spelling and grammar are also lessons that should have been taught, but apparently you never quite got around to it. If you're going to be a smart arse, at least make the effort to do it properly.
