Warren Gatland, in his last World Cup as Wales coach, is looking to profit from ‘lost causes’ against Les Bleus
Wales and Warren Gatland will head into uncharted waters on Sunday morning. As favourites for their World Cup quarter-final with France at Oita Stadium, they are in a position previous Welsh teams have found both uncomfortable and rare.
It is one this side is happy with, though. Gatland’s class of 2019 are enjoying the best shot of global glory the country has ever had. Overcome France and a semi-final with South Africa or the hosts, Japan, awaits. Both are beatable which means two winnable games stand between Wales and the final – and with that comes its own pressure.
