Warren Gatland, a New Zealander and former All Black, was appointed as Wales' new head coach on 9 November 2007. He had previously been the head coach of Waikato, leading them to success in the 2006 Air New Zealand Cup. Gatland took up the position on 1 December. His first match as coach was Wales' first match in the 2008 Six Nations Championship, against England at Twickenham on 2 February 2008. England, finalists in the 2007 Rugby World Cup, were favourites and led by 13 points at half-time, before Wales fought back to record a 26–19 win, their first at Twickenham since 1988. Wales' next two matches were at home to Scotland and Italy, which Wales won 30–15 and 47–8 respectively. Wales went on to clinch the Triple Crown beating Ireland 12–16 in Dublin and in the final game of the championship,

Wales sealed their second Six Nations Grand Slam in four championships by beating France 29–12 at the Millennium Stadium. Wales conceded only two tries in the entire tournament, halving the previous record of four tries conceded by England in both 2002 and 2003.

In the Autumn Internationals of that year, they were defeated by both New Zealand and South Africa, but claimed wins over Canada, and perhaps more importantly, Australia. Wales' 21 - 18 victory made them the only Northern Hemisphere nation to defeat a Tri-Nations country in 2008, and sent them up to fifth in the world rankings and later fourth. Wales however failed to retain their Six Nations Championship in 2009 after losing 17-15 to Ireland on the last day. This defeat in fact left them 4th on points difference behind England and France who also won 3 games. The other defeat for Wales came in the first Friday Six Nations match against France whilst Wales defeated England, Scotland and Italy.
