Wales and France went against each other in the third quarter-final of Rugby World Cup 2019 on 20th October at Oita Stadium, Oita Prefecture.
Wales reached the last eight as Pool D leaders after winning all their Pool stage games. France, on the other hand, finished second in the Pool stage after winning three games and having their last match against England cancelled due to Typhoon Hagibis.
The game was a breathtaking affair as Wales won the contest by a solitary point that came in the last five minutes of the game. In the first half of the match, France scored 19 points while Wales were at ten. In the second half of the game, Wales came back strongly as they scored ten points and prevented France from scoring even a single point.
France was ahead of Wales in the whole match but a try from Ross Moriarty and a conversion from Dan Biggar in the last five minutes of the match overturned the outcome entirely. Wales went ahead of France first time in the game and went on to hold their lead and clinch the tie.
Final score: Wales 20-19 France
