No injuries, no cards from the Uruguay match.
We know our A team.
We can go in to the France match confident of reaching the SF.
We felt the same before a certain match in Cardiff in October 2007. The form book goes out the window when you play the French in RWC knockouts. Take nothing for granted.
They aren't our nemesis though.
But yes, foot on throat early and wait for the white flag.

Yes but Jonathan Davies was injured vs Georgia. Will he recover for the QF ? Without him, the Welsh backline is meh ...
True
Fingers crossed.
Same too for Biggar
I’d say Biggar is an important piece to Wales winning any knock out match.
Shut down the French midfield and Wales will win. The pattern of the French attack seems to be built around them.

Yeah. If you're 14 points up just after half time you'll be fine ...

I wanted to downvote this terrible post but couldn't find the button.

Can't see France getting up for this. Unfinished business for Wales from 2011. Any players here from that game? From memory Halfpenny had a kick to win it, any others? They'll be chomping-at-the-bit for this.
Halfpenny, North, Jonathan Davies, Alun Wyn Jones, Bradley Davies

The battle of the quiet achievers at this world cup. One of these buggers is gonna be one game from the final with next to no fanfare! Sneaky sneaky.
If history is anything to go by France advance.
I’m fairly certain that France have only been knocked out at the QF stage once and that was 2015 by the ABs.

Still picking France for this one.

You missed the opportunity to point out it was in a different millennium.

Interesting that the only all NH match gets a SH ref.

I'm surprised you're even talking about it. There was no RWC in 1991, right?
