Gatland draws inspiration from France

Warren Gatland has urged his Wales squad to draw on inspiration from France to deliver a historic victory over the All Blacks in the South Wales Evening Post.

"Between now and Saturday we need to build our self-belief and confidence. We have to build on the performance and what we created against South Africa. We have to believe in our own ability and it's part of my job to keep the players motivated and create their self-belief.

"I keep looking back to Carisbrook last year when France came down to New Zealand with a very weakened team. They would have been written off before that game was played. But they came here with an air of confidence. France won the first Test and they probably should have won the second Test as well, and went away with the Dave Gallaher Shield.

"You have to keep looking at those occasions and hopefully the same may apply and happen to us."
