Wales' Rugby World Cup quarter-final clash with Argentina in Marsielle is just a matter of hours away.

Cymru may be favourites going into the match but there will no doubt be butterflies in Welsh stomachs as kick-off fast approaches.

Wales have already gone further in the tournament than most pundits would have given them credit for before a ball was kicked in France.

Young co-captain Jac Morgan admitted to feeling "pretty nervous" head of the biggest game in his short career.

Even so, head coach Warren Gatland believes after the turbulent time Welsh rugby has been through in the last 12 months, reaching a semi-final would be a "huge achievement".

The squad aren't immune to the jitters either, with young co-captain Jac Morgan admitting to feeling "pretty nervous" ahead of the game.
