Wales players 'ecstatic' about victory over France
Wales flanker Justin Tipuric admitted he and his teammates had been feeling the pressure on them, ahead of their second Six Nations game.
The Ospreys man got a rare start at No.7, with regular captain Sam Warburton absent injured, and said it was "a great feeling" to win in Paris.
Fly half Dan Biggar, who set up the decisive try for George North with a delicate kick through, said: "we're ecstatic about the win - the character and the effort and the sheer guts of the boys was evident, and is something which will stand us in great stead."
