Warren Gatland: Wales not ready to go home yet

Warren Gatland insists Wales are “not ready to go home” as they seek the fulfilment denied them at the last World Cup. The injury-ravaged Welsh are targeting only their third victory over South Africa when they face Heyneke Meyer’s revived southern hemisphere giants in tomorrow’s opening quarter-final at Twickenham.

They arrive in the knockout phase battle-hardened by intense Pool A showdowns with England, Fiji and Australia, losing only to the Wallabies in a thunderous collision last weekend.

Four years ago Wales were edged 9-8 by France in the semi-finals, a match that saw captain Sam Warburton controversially sent off for a spear tackle, and Gatland insists there is unfinished business in the World Cup.
