Taulupe Faletau may have been ruled out of the World Cup, but Wales’ head of physical performance Huw Bennett is hopeful everybody else will be available for selection for this weekend’s quarter-final against Argentina in Marseille.

Louis Rees-Zammit is firmly in the frame to emulate his Wales colleague Josh Adams as top try-scorer at a Rugby World Cup. But Gloucester wing Rees-Zammit says that team success is the “end goal” as Wales build towards a World Cup quarter-final against Argentina in Marseille next Saturday.

Warren Gatland prefers ancient history to modern history, which is why he reckons Wales will beat Georgia on Saturday. The Wales coach has been talking about Wales’ final Pool C opponents at the Rugby World Cup, the Georgians.

From Hamish Stuart in France Wales may have been handed a break in their fixtures before this weekend, but plenty of Wales fans have stayed out in France and remain at the party. There were lots of Welsh jerseys at the Uruguay v Namibia game in Lyon and a bit of Welsh singing during the […]

Jonathan Humphreys says that Wales “cannot afford to go off-script” when they tackle Rugby World Cup opponents Georgia in Nantes on Saturday.

Wales and England may have sealed their places in the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup, but the other six spots are still up for grabs. The final pool stage matches of the tournament will be played between Thursday and Sunday with all to play for across the four groups.

Wales say Dan Biggar is still in his recovery stage as he battles to be fit for their World Cup quarter-final.

Warren Gatland has earned plenty of plaudits from within rugby for guiding Wales into the quarter-finals of the World Cup – but now they are coming from further afield.

Jaz Joyce will play her first match for Wales in almost a year when she returns to the team to face the USA in Colwyn Bay on Saturday.

Tributes have been paid from across Welsh rugby to Glanmor Griffiths, the founding father of the Principality Stadium, who has died at the age of 83.

Gareth Anscombe picked up the Player of the Match award for his match-winning performance off the bench for Wales in Lyon, but he missed out on a Welsh World Cup record.
