Wales captain Sam Warburton faces an anxious wait after he was forced out of the 20-13 win over France with a knee injury.
Warburton went off during the second half in Paris and is an early doubt for his side’s next game in two weeks' time against current Six Nations champions Ireland.
"My knee just swelled up and I couldn't run at full pelt," said Warburton, who went back to the team hotel instead of attending the post-match dinner in central Paris.
He has just taken a knock on the knee, and it is probably just waiting for 12 hours or so
"It is just a bit of swelling. I will be up every two hours tonight icing it, and reassess Sunday morning."
Wales head coach Warren Gatland said: "With Sam's knee, we are not too sure how serious that is. He won't be going to the dinner tonight, he is going back to the hotel and we are just hoping it is not too serious.
"He has just taken a knock on the knee, and it is probably just waiting for 12 hours or so."
Warburton watched the closing stages from the sidelines as Wales prevailed through fly-half Dan Biggar's first try for his country and five Leigh Halfpenny penalties.
France replied through a Brice Dulin touchdown and eight points from the boot of Camille Lopez, but it was the Principality's forwards who built an impressive platform for the victory.
"We were disappointed with our second-half performance against England (three weeks ago). We were written off by a lot of people," Gatland said.
"There was an improvement against Scotland, and it was another step up tonight. We are back in contention, although we need a couple of results to go our way.
"In terms of the performance, I thought the forwards were outstanding. The lineout was excellent and we scrummaged well.
"And we went out and played some rugby. The better team deserved to win. If we can win against Ireland, we are potentially in with a chance.
"We spoke beforehand that Wales have not achieved four wins in a row against France since the 1950s, so there was potential to create something that was a bit special today.
"I thought our composure and experience was what got us over the line. That was satisfying. I think we grew and matured as a team a heck of a lot tonight."
