Warren Gatland says Wales can do ‘something special’ and reach World Cup finalBy Andrew Baldock, PA Rugby Union Correspondent, NiceWarren Gatland has underlined Wales’ desire to go one better than in three previous Rugby World Cup campaigns and reach the final. Semi Radradra spilled the ball to miss out on a possible match-winning try in Wales’ World Cup opener. “We have always been confident in the past about World Cups and the opportunity to get the team together for an extended period,” Wales head coach Gatland said. “We think that we have done well in previous World Cups and would like to get to a final of a World Cup. The countries have met just once before – a World Cup qualifier in Lisbon 29 years ago that Wales won 102-11 – with Portugal making a first appearance in the tournament’s pool stage since 2007.
