The New Zealand Herald's Dylan Cleaver backs the Welsh to reach the World Cup final.
"When Shane Williams took just two minutes to achieve what neither Australia nor Italy could achieve in 80, the complexion of the first quarter-final changed in a heartbeat.
It might sound wise after the fact, but in those minutes sparkling first few minutes, all the concerns Ireland brought into this World Cup resurfaced. They've never made a World Cup semifinal, most of this team will never get another chance.
Wales, on the other hand, have a crop of youngsters who have no history of heartbreak and no fear of defeat. The quick score just served to further embolden them."
