The Journey to the 1968 Grand Slam

Furthermore, the team’s confidence grew with a 16-6 win over Ireland, followed by a hard-fought 14-9 victory against England at Stade Colombes. By this point, France had already secured the championship. However, the Grand Slam title, known as the “Grand Chelem” in French, would only be won if they could defeat Wales in their final match.
The Iconic Battle Against Wales
The final game took place at Cardiff’s Arms Park, where France faced Wales. The weather was unforgiving, with heavy rain turning the field into a mud bath. At halftime, Wales led 9-3. Nevertheless, the French team rallied in the second half. Subsequently, Christian Carrère scored a crucial try, while Lillian Camberabero added another. Additionally, Guy Camberabero scored a conversion, penalty, and drop goal, leading to a thrilling 14-9 victory. Consequently, France celebrated its first Grand Slam in history.
