The rules of the World Cup are that you need to beat Good France at some point.

For all their lovely play in this half, France are still very much France.

How do France do this? They can barely identify a rugby ball for four years, and suddenly in the world cup finals they can pass across the entire field using only mind power and phase through any matter between them and the tryline.

Wales have been battered over the last ten minutes - its a huge morale boost if they keep the lead down to 9 at the half.

When they rebel against their own coaches, that's the sign that France are approaching their final form.

Can France maintain that for a whole match? Wales seemed to forget that France always have one of those matches each world cup and thought kicking it to them was an okay thing to do.

It does feel like Wales are hanging on, they need to try and switch the momentum at half time.

Though Hadleigh Parkes, who would have thought all those years ago when NZ fans were constantly making fun of him for being slow and useless in the Mitre 10 Cup that one day he'd get the opportunity to be slow and useless in a RWC QF.

No, as an all blacks fan I have absolutely no permanent deep seated issues relating to WC finals matches against france, why do you ask?

Oh France wouldn't get anywhere near this much change out of the all blacks as they have against Wales. Your lot would probably be twenty points up.

The best thing about facing France in the final is that we would avoid a French ref.

God drat it Wales, why do you make it so painful to watch this world cup?

There's not really been a single match so far when I could just watch it in a relaxed fashion, chatting calmly to people while nodding aporovally as we continue to romp home.

It's like if uber always gave you the same driver to get home from work and he insisted on driving through the worst neighbourhood in the city slowly with the windows down every single time. Sure I always got home but do I really have to go through this every time?!
