Wales don't plan on change ahead of world cup semi-final

9:56 am on 12 October 2011

The Welsh side doesn't plan on changing their approach, as they go into their first rugby world cup semi-final since the inaugural tournament 24 years ago.

Their defensive coach Shaun Edwards says Wales have the mindset, skills, and the players to take on France in this weekend's first semi-final, and the former England league star believes Wales have been transformed under the leadership of their 23 year old captain Sam Warburton.

And lock Luke Chateris says there is no need for them to do anything radical this week to prepare for the biggest match of their lives.

Chateris says the coach is keeping the team relaxed and has run standard training sessions this week.

Wales haven't beaten France for three years, but they rate themselves a 50-50 chance this weekend.
