Daily Mail  

Warren Gatland hailed the fighting spirit of his Welsh team as they booked a World Cup semi-final date with South Africa beating France by a point. Wales only led for six minutes, when Dan Biggar kicked the conversion to Ross Moriarty's try, having been nine points down at half-time. Warren Gatland admitted that he was preparing his farewell speech as Wales edged closer to a Rugby World Cup defeat at the hands of France in Oita on Sunday morning Eight years ago Wales lost the World Cup semi-final against France by a point after Sam Warburton was red-carded, but in Oita the tables were turned. But the Wales boss saw his side turn the game around with a 74th minute Ross Moriarty try 'It is ironic the last time we were in a World Cup there was a red card and it was a one point game as well.
