RWC 2011 semi-final | Wales 8-9 France highlights
- 13 years ago
http://www.LiveSportsTV.up.to - Wales' World Cup dream ended in the most heart-breaking fashion as they fell one point short after an epic effort in Auckland. A controversial red card for skipper and key man Sam Warburton reduced Wales to 14 men for 61 minutes and seemed to have cost them the semi-final as Morgan Parra kicked three penalties for France.

A stirring, tireless second-half display somehow kept them in the game, Mike Phillips darting over for the game's only try with 23 minutes left to set up a desperate finale. But Stephen Jones hit the post with the conversion which would have snatched the lead, and Leigh Halfpenny then came up just short with a long-range penalty at the death.
