Warren Gatland's successful 12-year spell as Wales coach will conclude when the New Zealander steps down after Japan 2019, meaning defeat this weekend would signal the end of the former Ireland boss's time in charge.But the World Cup was the source of his biggest disappointment with Wales when they were beaten 9-8 by France in a 2011 semi-final in Auckland, after then Welsh captain Sam Warburton received an early red card for a dangerous tip tackle on Vincent Clerc.

Wales had been in danger of a damaging loss in the opening weekend of the Six Nations but instead they went on to complete a Grand Slam. “The boys have learnt from that, and we don't want to feel disappointment like that again. Fingers crossed, it won't happen again.” The French, three-times losing finalists, but like Wales yet to win the World Cup, saw their concluding pool match against England cancelled because of Typhoon Hagibis hitting Tokyo.
