Wales

Nickname: The Dragons
World Cup appearances: 7
World Cup best finish:
Third, 1987

By all accounts, Wales will be the
team to beat in the tournament.
Despite a hectic Six Nations
tournament, there is something
enigmatic about Warren Gatland’s
side. The Dragons are blessed
with enormous talent such as
Rhys Webb and the ever reliable
Jamie Roberts.
Perceived as the group of
death, fans will be expecting to
see a three-way fight between the
big three but other pundits believe
that it will be a four way battle.
With only two spots available for
the next round they will be vying
with hosts England and Australia
in an effort to progress into the
last eight.

World Cup Squad: Sam
Warburton (c), Leigh
Halfpenny, Liam Williams,
Hallam Amos, Alex Cuthbert,
George North, Cory Allen,
Jamie Roberts, Scott Williams,
Dan Biggar, Matthew Morgan,
Rhys Priestland, Gareth
