Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was first shown on 17 March 1978, with filming taking place a year earlier. The dialogue in the film was heavily ad-libbed by the cast around a rough outline by the writer and director. The ending was originally planned with Wales winning. When they lost the game the ending was hastily revised, with additional dialogue pick-up shots in the stands of the Cardiff Arms Park. The filming took place in the following order: The village streets (hearse); Training Plane (Rhoose Airport); Paris exteriors; All Paris interiors (BBC Club, Newport Road, Cardiff) The original 1977 members of the Welsh and French RFC teams can be seen in this film on the field and off, including Gareth Edwards, JPR Williams, Phil Bennett and others.

Featured review
A raucous Welsh classic comedy.
I've heard of caterpillars turning into butterflies, but never.......
Rugby and Wales, hand in hand like coffee and cream, so sit back, get your laughing gear ready, wherever you're from, and prepare for a classic Welsh comedy.
Grand Slam follows a group of Welsh rugby fans in Paris, for the game that could see Wales lift the as was five nations trophy.
It's glorious, it's wonderful, it's passionate, it's hard not to fall in love with every single character.
Littered with funny scenes, nothing funnier than Windsor Davies's strip....he's better than she was, scream out loud funny.
The authentic filming is a huge plans, so it looks awesome, lovely to look back at some of the Welsh greats.
Huw Griffith and Windsor Davies are awesome, Sion Probert is a riot.
Glorious, 10/10.
