"I've got some more stats from the game; there are 78 per cent more smiling French fans than smiling English fans.

And I'm almost getting tired of hearing Alles les Bleus. Almost."

As wales sit in the lead 15-10, you can definitely say they've taken their opportunities to move.

The RWC 1995 final between South Africa and New Zealand was the first extra-time match played when the score was 9-9 at the end of normal time.

The first semi-final of RWC 1999 between Australia and South Africa at Twickenham finished 21-21 after normal time before a Stephen Larkham drop goal and a late Matt Burke penalty goal saw the Wallabies progress to the final 27-21.

The most dramatic finish occurred in the RWC 2003 final at Sydney's Telstra Stadium when, with the score tied at 14-14 following an 80th-minute Elton Flatley penalty goal for Australia, the match against England went into extra time.

"I am good to go. The foot feels good after a bit of rest last week and over the weekend. I trained with the team yesterday and it is always hard when you have missed training here and there.

"I would like to think that when you have been playing this game for a few years, you know what you need to do to get in form.

"I just got to make sure I get into form and that's the key. I am confident and all the boys are in pretty good shape."

"Thick scrum, driving lineout, ball in the air, big physical presence at the breakdown and they scramble well in defence."
- But Henry is also wary of the threat posed by the powerful Pumas for their clash at Eden Park on Sunday evening.

"To be honest, in the back of our minds it's something we'd like to achieve, but it's not something that's spoken about on a daily basis. Sure, it's a motivation at the back of the minds to be successful, but it doesn't affect us too much."
- South Africa assistant coach Gary Gold keeps cool over the prospect of becoming the first nation to secure back-to-back World Cup titles.

"Looks can be deceiving. They're excited about it."
- Australia's Kiwi coach Robbie Deans reveals that his players might look relaxed ahead of Sunday's quarter-final with the Springboks, but they are really raring to get going.

"John's a quality player. I've always had a huge amount of respect for him as a player and a person. I've never had an easy game against him and Sunday will be no different."
- Wallabies hooker Stephen Moore expects yet another tough front row clash with South Africa skipper and opposite number John Smit.

"If there is a bit of sledging involved then so be it. That's all part of it and it adds to the spice and excitement of the game."
- South Africa-born second row Dan Vickerman is prepared to receive some verbal assaults as well as physical from the Springboks when he lines up for Australia at the weekend.

Long regarded as one of the greatest place kickers of all time, Wilkinson has converted just 45% of his kicks for goal this tournament.

But he believes he's striking the ball well. But not all the kickers have had problems. Check out this story by David Leggat on which kickers could have the greatest impact from here on in.

"I would probably take back two kicks I've taken that I've not been happy with, I just need to keep working to get better and better," says the World Cup winner.

Toby Flood, who will start outside Wilkinson at second-five, has a 77% success rate at the tournament.

Courtenay Place and some surrounding roads closed early this morning, for the pending street party.

They won't open again until Monday, and there'll be extensive road closures around Wellington Regional Stadium before and after the games.

Courtenay Accord president John Coleman says crowds are expected to be twice the size of a Sevens weekend, and it's a more mature clientele.

"They've come along away, they've got coin in their pockets, they want good wine and nice food," says Mr Coleman.

He may be handed the goal kicking responsibilities for the match, with coach Graham Henry refusing to reveal who will have those duties.

Weepu says he's approaching the match no different.

"Keeping the same routine, not making dramatic changes. I'll prepare the same as the last four weeks," says Weepu.

The All Blacks have a captain's run this evening to finish their official preparation for the quarter-final.
