our correspondent andy swiss is at this match. welcome to lyon, whether well fans will arrive. wales fans arrive. the equation is relatively simple. if wales win, they are through to the knockout stages. if they lose, everything is up in the air. bonus points are crucial in a script even if wales do lose, a bonus point or two would be very handy. wales played really well in their opening match against fiji, not so well in the next game against portugal. perhaps not surprisingly, they have reverted to the team that beat fiji. wales have a very good record in recent world cups ever reaching the knockout stage. they have reached knockout stage at the last three tournaments so they are hoping to make it four in a row and when you bear in mind the doom and gloom that surrounded welsh rugbyjust a few months ago, that would be no mean feat. their coach says he is proud of what his team have done so far. we are all happy, we want to put some pride back in the welsh jersey. it doesn't take long to lose it and i don't think that we have had the respect of the rugby world in terms of perf
