French rugby coach Marc Lievremont pays tribute to Wales
France were defeated 29-12 in the Grand Slam match against Wales but rugby coach Marc Lievremont nevertheless paid tribute to the Welsh team.

And Marc Lievremont said he thought the counter-attacking play by Shane Williams clenched the victory by Wales and he commented: "The turning point was the counter attack of Shane Williams, he was brilliant all tournament."


French rugby coach Marc LievremontMarc Lievremont added: "I'd like to congratulate Wales for their victory and Grand Slam. For one hour of the game, we were extremely courageous but we couldn't find a way past the excellent Welsh defence."

Marc Lievremont knew where his team had failed and he also said: "Our kicking game was not precise enough and the ball was slow to come out, and timing of the pass was also out."

Shane Williams' score also set a new record beating Gareth Thomas as Wales' all-time leading try scorer and surpassing France's Vincent Clerc as this year's tournament's top try scorer.
