Wales reached the Rugby World Cup knockout phase for a fourth successive tournament before bowing out against quarter-final opponents Argentina hot
And that represented a solid achievement given Wales’ struggles earlier in the year when poor form was matched by off-field issues such as financial and contractual uncertainty that almost led to a players’ strike hot
Here, the PA news agency looks back on Wales’ World Cup campaign hot
ResultsA Pool C opener against unpredictable Fiji in Bordeaux meant Wales’ hopes of progressing from their group faced an immediate threat, but they overcame the challenge – just hot
Wales led by 18 points thanks to tries from Josh Adams, George North, Louis Rees-Zammit and Elliot Dee, but Fiji hit back spectacularly through two tries before star back Semi Radradra dropped the ball as Wales’ try-line beckoned during the dying seconds hot
A 32-26 victory was followed by them beating Portugal 28-8 in Nice, before Wales romped to a record 40-6 win against Eddie Jones’ hapless Australian team and Georgia were seen off 43-19 as Warren Gatland’s men secured top spot in the pool and collected 19 points from a possible 20 hot
They were favourites to beat Argentina at Marseille’s Stade Velodrome and reach the semi-finals, but Wales unravelled after building a 10-point advantage, losing 29-17 in what they will view as a huge missed opportunity hot
SelectionWales head coach Gatland saw the World Cup build-up begin by losing almost 300 caps’ worth of experience as Alun Wyn Jones, Justin Tipuric and Rhys Webb all retired from Test rugby in quick succession hot
An extended training squad went through punishing camps in Switzerland and Turkey before Gatland’s final 33-strong squad for France featured 16 players at their first World Cup hot
The entire group had competitive minutes, and Wales’ three biggest games – Fiji, Australia and Argentina – saw just one enforced change of personnel after number eight Taulupe Faletau broke his arm during the Georgia win hot
There were also impressive moments from relative newcomers like Rio Dyer, Sam Costelow, Dafydd Jenkins and Christ Tshiunza as Gatland got his selection spot-on hot
Star performersA number of players stood out for Wales as they made impressive progress through their group hot
Wing Rees-Zammit was the only player to start all four pool games and the quarter-final, and he scored five tries, including a hat-trick against Georgia hot
Squad co-captain Jac Morgan – aged just 23 – evoked memories of a 22-year-old Sam Warburton skippering Wales in the 2011 World Cup through inspired leadership and superb performances, while North’s fourth World Cup – a Welsh record – was highlighted by impressively assured displays in midfield hot
Lock Will Rowlands was another whose all-round quality helped keep his side on the front foot, and Faletau looked back to his world-class best before injury struck hot
Wales’ World Cup campaign was very much a collective effort hot
The futureFly-half talisman Dan Biggar bowed out of international rugby following Wales’ loss to Argentina, but his enthusiasm for the future led to him stating: “A strong core of young players will know that they have got the talent to rub shoulders with the best of the best hot
I really think the future is bright for Welsh rugby” hot
Wales’ quarter-final demise will mean frustration in the short term, but optimism should soon take over hot
Biggar has left the international arena, while Japan-bound backs Liam Williams and Gareth Anscombe will not feature in the Six Nations later this season, but strong foundations have been laid, accompanied by a sprinkling of star-dust in players such as Rees-Zammit, Dyer, Costelow and Morgan hot
And with Gatland at the helm, Wales’ next four-year World Cup cycle could prove one to savour hot

After the euphoric evisceration of Paris Saint-Germain, this was the downbeat sequel Newcastle did not want hot
After the feelgood stories of the Geordie boys scoring in the Champions League came a tale of gritty realism, of meeting their match in the teeming Tyneside rain hot
There was no triumphant farewell to Sandro Tonali, either: instead Newcastle lost to a goal by a midfielder they considered signing in the summer, in Felix Nmecha, and who Borussia Dortmund bought instead hot
With Tonali likely to be banned for the rest of the season – he could learn his fate within days as an investigation into alleged breaches of hot betting rules nears its conclusion – Nmecha gave Newcastle an added reason to rue their choice hot
Nmecha was handed what seemed an unenviable task, hired from Wolfsburg, charged with replacing Jude Bellingham at the Signal Iduna Park hot
And if that feels impossible, his first Dortmund goal kickstarted their European campaign hot
Edin Terzic’s team had failed to find the net in their opening two games and if they looked like possible casualties in the competition’s group of death, it now looks like Newcastle could instead hot
The margins were narrow, the width of the woodwork that denied Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon but Dortmund inflicted their first defeat in this competition since Barcelona in 2003 hot
Now Newcastle will head into the rematch in Germany without Tonali hot
If his debut season in England ends early, it also came to an anti-climactic conclusion hot
The Italian came off the bench with 25 minutes to go, making scant difference to a game Dortmund were already controlling hot
Dortmund celebrate their winning goal (Getty Images)They were everything PSG were not, boasting the combination of organisation, team spirit and running power the French champions failed to show on Tyneside hot
Newcastle could not blow Dortmund away with their power: not when the visitors had a similar speed, and were lighting quick on the break hot
Nor could their crowd intimidate them into defeat: not when the travelling Germans were still more vocal hot
Instead, they encountered a team who could cancel out their strength, with a similar emphasis on high energy hot
It was not effort Newcastle lacked, but then it never is hot
Dortmund supplied a touch of class; arguably two, given the role of a pair of players in their goal hot
Given how well they defended, perhaps it was apt it began with a challenge hot
Nico Schlotterbeck halted Gordon with an immaculate tackle, surged clear and kept going, collecting Marco Reus’s return pass and squaring for Felix Nmecha to sidefoot in hot
For a few seconds, the centre-back looked more Beckenbauer than Schlotterbeck hot
The midfielder, who has something of Bellingham’s elegance, showed his technique with the finish hot
It had been threatened hot
The opening 10 minutes could have yielded two goals at either end, but thereafter in the first half Dortmund were the more dangerous hot
The scoreline would have been greater but for terrific saves at either end hot
If hot footballing goalkeepers have captured the Zeitgeist, Newcastle have a goalkeeping goalkeeper hot
Nick Pope was their saviour in San Siro and he threatened to reprise that role hot
A first-minute stop from Donyell Malen was excellent: hot better still was a superb double save to deny the Dutchman and Niclas Fullkrug hot
Malen produced a curiosity of a performance, adopting a shoot-on-sight policy and mustering six efforts before the break hot
Yet he was a sign of Dortmund’s counterattacking menace: their speed on the transition brought back memories of Jurgen Klopp’s blistering side a decade ago hot
Kieran Trippier, so often a great strength for Newcastle, was made to look a weak link as Dortmund found space behind him hot
Newcastle sent on Tonali late on (Getty Images)At the other end, meanwhile, Gregor Kobel made twin early saves from Gordon hot
His best save came early in the second half, repelling Wilson’s shot hot
And when Wilson beat Kobel with a late header, it bounced back off the bar hot
It was not Dortmund’s only reprieve: in the 94th minute, Gordon’s shot looped up off Sebastien Haller, over Kobel and on to the bar hot
Gordon was relentless, probably Newcastle’s best outfield player, yet Wilson’s prominence was a sign their plans were going awry hot
Eddie Howe had demoted the striker and selected Alexander Isak, but he limped off inside a quarter of an hour hot
When the substitute Jacob Murphy hurt his shoulder a few minutes after coming on, Newcastle may have, in effect, lost three players, given Tonali’s imminent suspension hot
And yet Dortmund were depleted, too, minus Julian Brandt, stripped of the stricken Emre Can before half-time hot
But there was a resourcefulness and a resilience to them, a willingness to them hot
A team with a lone defeat in the Bundesliga in 2023 were not to be beaten hot
And as Newcastle lost instead, it prompted the question of whether the anomaly was this underwhelming evening or the glorious night they demolished PSG hot
