Wales trade at [8.6] to win the World Cup.

A strong performance in Wellington will raise hopes of World Cup glory as Wales enter the final four.

Wales are in World Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1987 after a 22-10 defeat of Ireland in Wellington this morning.

It was an outstanding performance from Warren Gatland's men, who dominated their opponents throughout and trade at [8.6] to win the World Cup.

Fittingly, it was an early try from legendary winger Shane Williams, playing in his farewell tournament, that set the Welsh on their way to a 10-3 halftime lead.

With the game poised at 15-10 a jinking Jonathan Davies run and score midway through the second-half settled nerves and took the welsh out of Irish sight.

England or France await in the semi-finals.
