Wales beat France to reach World Cup semis

Wales have beaten France 20-19 in Oita to reach the Rugby World Cup semi-finals.

Ross Moriarty scored the winning try as Wales exploited their numerical superiority to rally for the 20-19 quarter-final victory after French lock Sebastien Vahaamahina was shown a red card.

In an echo of the semi-final meeting between the two nations in 2011 when France won after Sam Warburton was sent off, the Six Nations champions overhauled a nine-point deficit after Vahaamahina was dismissed for foul play in the 49th minute.

Replacement loose forward Moriarty crossed in the 74th minute to give Wales an eighth win in their last nine meetings with France and set up a semi-final against hosts Japan or South Africa, who play in Tokyo later on Sunday.
