STORYLINE:
Warren Gatland's Grand Slam-winning Wales squad celebrated in front of hundreds of fans at the Welsh National Assembly in Cardiff on Monday, with the head coach saying a first Rugby World Cup win is a possibility if his side reproduce their Six Nations form in Japan later this year.
Wales sealed their third Grand Slam under Gatland - winning all five of their games in the Six Nations - with a 25-7 win over Ireland in Cardiff on Saturday.
Gatland's side also extended their current winning run to 14 games, which is a Welsh record.
The New Zealander was asked what his future plans were, with rumours linking him to the England job after Eddie Jones' departure.
Gatland played down that notion though, insisting: "I'd never be allowed back across the Severn Bridge!"
