Wales vs France
World Cup
October 8:15 am Sunday

If they face off for a location in the Rugby World Cup semi-finals on Sunday wales will appear to continue their recent album that is strong over France.
Warren Gatlands side have won seven of their eight encounters with Les Bleus like a gorgeous 24-19 success in Paris from the very first game of the Six Nations Grand Slam-winning effort of this year .
Can Wales move 1 step closer to giving Gatland the farewell or may the formbook throws from the window in Oita?
In 2015, Wales hobbled their squad, into the World Cup quarter-finals.
This time, they together with all three cogs in their backline passed fit.
Dan Biggar has successfully adopted return-to-play protocols to start at fly-half while Jonathan Davies and George North have shaken off collapses to start.
Its precisely the same side that began Wales opening two World Cup matches against Georgia along with Australia, underlining the consistency of selection of Warren Gatland.
Consistency is an area where France are lacking but they also received good news together with Antoine Dupont and Damian Penaud continuing about the wing.
Dupont is probably one of the best nines in the world, hes extremely robust and very influential, said Gatland.
Great news for Wales.
This has been Stuart Barnes response before this week after hearing Romain Ntamack would begin at fly-half ahead of Camille Lopez.
This was confirmed on Friday Ntamack keeping his place cover once again.
If they lost to Wales kicking nine things, lopez started for France. The Clermont 10 brings architecture and an accurate boot to help construct strain that is scoreboard, however, Jacques Brunel has gambled on 20-year-old game-breaker Ntamack – to his Test – to lead France.
Brunel was taken by surprise when he watched the name of Biggar .
Biggar suffered two concussions however, also the Welsh Rugby Union said the fly-half has been symptom-free since his collision with Liam Williams throughout the triumph over Fiji.
From the French tournament, two concussions is out three weeks, said Brunel, adding that if the Rugby World Cup followed the principles of the Top 14, Biggarcould not play.
But, Gatland said Biggar has gone through all the return-to-play protocols and that Wales has obtainedall the proper precautions.
We made certain concerning consulting the right people and making certain that they were conscious of what, getting him scanned, (the) independent adviser – which was important, Gatland said.
Wales have history about a participant coming back too early from concussion, some thing that Gatland declared on Friday.
After being told to rest by doctors following four concussions in 3 weeks, north had five months outside in 2015.
The reign of Gatland or even brunel will come to an end on Sunday, both coaches having already announced theyll resign after the World Cup.
Brunel will be replaced by Fabien Galthie, a guy he earned after Frances newest Nations campaign as helper in April.
Like people who preceded himBrunel has been unable to drag the French team from its slump. Speculation swirls that the 65-year-old has not got a handle on his players, so the French may not be far from mutiny. That is about the norm for France at World Cups.
Gatland will not underestimate France, who have reached the semi-finals in six of the eight editions of their World Cup. They moved on to make the closing, such as 2011 when they beat against Wales at the semis.
The message to the gamers is you have two choices here: were either on the plane on Monday going home, or were here until the conclusion of the championship, Gatland said.
Gatland returns home to Hamilton after the World Cup to coach the Chiefs.
Hed love to return as a World Cup-winning trainer, ticking off the last box at a yearlong restart.
Losing to France are a disappointing ending for his 12-year reign.
Stephen Jones claims that Wales 2011 World Cup semi-final conquer France will produceexcellent fuel for Sundays showdown at Oita.
Former Wales fly-half Jones went as a replacement after skipper Sam Warburton had been controversially sent off as Wales endured an defeat missing a transformation.
Its good fuel to push you forward to reach your objectives, and that is what that is, said Jones, whos now Wales assistant trainer.
This was a tight match. When we were down to 14, we fought hard and it still could have gone either way.
Wed gathered a lot of momentum at that World Cup, and were at a great place.
Its unfortunate we lost the game and the way we did. There were several experiences of the 2011 World Cup. Yes, it had been disappointing. That is sport.
This is not the same set of players. That day some were involved, however the huge majority werent. You examine the recent games from France and the boys have had a great success.
