OITA, Japan - Wales rode their luck to advance to their third World Cup semi-final when Ross Moriarty’s dramatic late try gave then a 20-19 victory over a battling France team reduced to 14 men for the final half hour on Sunday.
Though the French defended superbly, replacement number eight Moriarty, yellow-carded himself earlier, clinched the encounter six minutes from time by grabbing a loose ball and forcing his way over. Wales also saw two French kicks during the first half - an attempted conversion and penalty by flyhalf Romain Ntamack - hit an upright and bounce clear.“I think the better team lost today,” conceded Welsh coach Warren Gatland. “That red card was significant. Our boys don’t give up, though. It was a tough physical game and we kept plugging away.
The perennial question of ‘which France will turn up?’ was answered emphatically as they roared into a 12-0 lead after eight minutes, playing with pace, dynamism and total commitment.Vahaamahina bundled over for the first score before Damian Penaud set up the second by beating Liam Williams in an aerial duel – which very few people can manage – to set his backline moving and eventually sent flanker Charles Ollivon over.
The first contribution of his replacement Moriarty was a high tackle that sent him straight back off again for 10 minutes in the sin-bin.
