The Welsh side doesn’t plan on changing their approach, as they go into their first Rugby World Cup semifinal since the inaugural tournament 24 years ago.

Defensive coach Shaun Edwards said Wales has the mindset, skills, and the players to take on France and the former England league star believes Wales have been transformed under the leadership of their 23-year-old captain Sam Warburton.

And lock Luke Chateris said there is no need for them to do anything radical this week to prepare for the biggest match of their lives.

Wales hasn’t beaten France for three years, but they rate themselves a 50-50 chance this weekend.

The first semifinal at 8pm Saturday will see France meet Wales and at 8pm Sunday the All Blacks meet the Wallabies and the live commentary of both matches can be heard on our sister station Viti FM with Malakai Veisamasama and Ilivasi Tabua.
