2015 Rugby World Cup: The best teams from the pool stage

#4 Wales

With the injury list and players missing, Warren Gatland has still managed to wring the best out of his Wales side to get them to the quarterfinals. With the backline completely battered and looking like a hospital’s casualty ward, the Wales frontline led by captain Sam Warburton has risen to the challenge. Dan Biggar has been the star of the show with his kicking, having scored half of Wales’ total points in the competition so far. They face the Springboks in what is a tough quarterfinal especially with their ranks being thinned out thanks to the injuries, but they will show the same heart as they’ve done all tournament and will be hoping that helps against the Boks.

Wales scored 11 tries averaging 27.75 points a game, making 109 tackles a match and just 2.25 handling errors a game.
