Warren Gatland has said that Wales's 27-6 win over France in the Six Nations this evening is a "fantastic result".
Tries from Sam Warburton and George North helped the defending champions to their second win of this year's championship.
The coach told BBC Sport: "I am often grumpy with these guys, but I am happy with that. They responded well, with a good performance and a fantastic result.
"We let ourselves down in Dublin and sometimes you need a watershed moment. We were smashed up front against Ireland, they took us apart and we had to have a good hard look at ourselves.
"I thought Sam Warburton was excellent on the ball, the midfield was good and Jake Ball did very well coming in for Alun Wyn Jones. We have got a big game at Twickenham in a couple of week, but hopefully today will be a platform for that."
Wales are bidding to become the first team to win the tournament outright three years in a row.
