Watch Wales vs France first semi final on Saturday 15th October 2011 of Rugby World Cup at Eden Park , Auckland at the local time 6pm.Wales head in to the game as favorites, and rightly so, after a great performance against Ireland in the quarterfinals. Led by the impressive young captain Sat Warburton, the back row of Wales controlled the distribution, providing quality ball to their defensive line as in the process. And here lies the problem for France. Your bottom line does not have a recovery tool in the mold of Warburton, or ACE Wallabies David Pocock, who could see the struggle to build continuity. That said, the ball carrying capacity of Imanol Harinordoquy, Julien Bonnaire and Thierry Dusautoir not be ruled out, especially if they have a roll as they did against England. But essentially, this is what the team is in France. The rumors of internal strife and player discontent with coach Marc Lievremont has mounted Rugby World Cup France 2011 campaign, leading to the loss of shame to Tonga. However, they managed to reach the semifinals and would be a brave man who suggests that there may be one or two more games. WeĆ¢€™re not sure what France will do to the lack of Rhys Priestland Wales line-up, with a shoulder injury. Priestland, no doubt, was the fly half ahead of the competition, but James Hook is a very capable replacement.It has always been a close game, but Wales defended well when he had proposed and scores to win, but could have been closer if Ireland has decided to launch some of their sentences instead of going to attack the waiting line.
France, meanwhile, delighted fans theirt (right), showing that they are not as bad as a team that seems to be able to look is the best team over against England.
There were two trials, but England is still the best in the second shortcoming of many who have shown in the competition have been exposed even more.
The game was probably the last in a England shirt for many players, perhaps especially Jonny Wilkinson, and many wonder if they also become the last for coach Martin Johnson.
The World Cup was a disaster for England in an off the field, and unlike in France do not have the character to produce winning performance that was needed to make the last four years.
