WE'VE GAT A GREAT CHANCE

Tompkins and Davies praise Gatland's clear vision and reckon 'the sky's the limit' for Wales

- NEIL SQUIRES

WARREN GATLAND'S Wales players are dreaming of going all the way at France 2023 after pummelling Australia.

The squad's reward for becoming the first team to qualify for the World Cup knockout stages is three days off, with the only rule they have to stay in France with their final pool game against Georgia 11 days away.

With a quarter-final in Marseille against most likely Argentina or Japan to come, the Dragons can look ahead with confidence.

In the nine months it has taken Eddie Jones to hole the Wallabies below the water line, boss Gatland has shaped a well-organised side who feel they are capable of anything at this tournament.

"I think we missed a vision and a bit of clarity about what was going on with everything," said centre Nick Tompkins.

"Bring that back and it shows what we can do. It is just having a clear vision of what he wants and that's back to the basics of working hard. I suppose it's not rocket science, but it's not easy to do.
