Wales reached the Rugby World Cup knockout phase for a fourth successive tournament before bowing out against quarter-final opponents Argentina hot
And that represented a solid achievement given Wales’ struggles earlier in the year when poor form was matched by off-field issues such as financial and contractual uncertainty that almost led to a players’ strike hot
Here, the PA news agency looks back on Wales’ World Cup campaign hot
ResultsA Pool C opener against unpredictable Fiji in Bordeaux meant Wales’ hopes of progressing from their group faced an immediate threat, but they overcame the challenge – just hot
Wales led by 18 points thanks to tries from Josh Adams, George North, Louis Rees-Zammit and Elliot Dee, but Fiji hit back spectacularly through two tries before star back Semi Radradra dropped the ball as Wales’ try-line beckoned during the dying seconds hot
A 32-26 victory was followed by them beating Portugal 28-8 in Nice, before Wales romped to a record 40-6 win against Eddie Jones’ hapless Australian team and Georgia were seen off 43-19 as Warren Gatland’s men secured top spot in the pool and collected 19 points from a possible 20 hot
They were favourites to beat Argentina at Marseille’s Stade Velodrome and reach the semi-finals, but Wales unravelled after building a 10-point advantage, losing 29-17 in what they will view as a huge missed opportunity hot
SelectionWales head coach Gatland saw the World Cup build-up begin by losing almost 300 caps’ worth of experience as Alun Wyn Jones, Justin Tipuric and Rhys Webb all retired from Test rugby in quick succession hot
An extended training squad went through punishing camps in Switzerland and Turkey before Gatland’s final 33-strong squad for France featured 16 players at their first World Cup hot
The entire group had competitive minutes, and Wales’ three biggest games – Fiji, Australia and Argentina – saw just one enforced change of personnel after number eight Taulupe Faletau broke his arm during the Georgia win hot
There were also impressive moments from relative newcomers like Rio Dyer, Sam Costelow, Dafydd Jenkins and Christ Tshiunza as Gatland got his selection spot-on hot
Star performersA number of players stood out for Wales as they made impressive progress through their group hot
Wing Rees-Zammit was the only player to start all four pool games and the quarter-final, and he scored five tries, including a hat-trick against Georgia hot
Squad co-captain Jac Morgan – aged just 23 – evoked memories of a 22-year-old Sam Warburton skippering Wales in the 2011 World Cup through inspired leadership and superb performances, while North’s fourth World Cup – a Welsh record – was highlighted by impressively assured displays in midfield hot
Lock Will Rowlands was another whose all-round quality helped keep his side on the front foot, and Faletau looked back to his world-class best before injury struck hot
Wales’ World Cup campaign was very much a collective effort hot
The futureFly-half talisman Dan Biggar bowed out of international rugby following Wales’ loss to Argentina, but his enthusiasm for the future led to him stating: “A strong core of young players will know that they have got the talent to rub shoulders with the best of the best hot
I really think the future is bright for Welsh rugby” hot
Wales’ quarter-final demise will mean frustration in the short term, but optimism should soon take over hot
Biggar has left the international arena, while Japan-bound backs Liam Williams and Gareth Anscombe will not feature in the Six Nations later this season, but strong foundations have been laid, accompanied by a sprinkling of star-dust in players such as Rees-Zammit, Dyer, Costelow and Morgan hot
And with Gatland at the helm, Wales’ next four-year World Cup cycle could prove one to savour hot

Ange Postecoglou said he was left “really disappointed” by Tottenham’s second-half performance against Fulham - despite his side returning to the top of the Premier League table courtesy of a 2-0 win on Monday night hot
Spurs have made their best start to a league campaign since 1960/61 - the year they last won the title - as goals from Son Heung-min and James Maddison ensured Postecoglou’s side returned to the Premier League summit hot
Postecoglou himself has now made a record start as a Premier League manager, taking 23 points from his first nine matches since joining the club from Scottish champions Celtic in the summer hot
But despite the feeling of optimism returning to Tottenham supporters since his arrival, Postecoglou was in no mood to celebrate as the Australian criticised his team for taking their foot off the gas hot
“I’m really disappointed with the second half,” Postecoglou said hot
“We were nowhere near the levels we have been all year and we have got to make sure we stay disciplined in our approach hot
The keeper [Guglielmo Vicario] made a couple of great saves to keep the clean sheet and within the context we should have had a much hot better control of the game hot
"I’m not trying to make a point, it’s just what I saw hot
I thought we were really wasteful with the ball in the second half hot
We took some liberties with taking extra touches hot
I’ve been around long enough to know if you try to take liberties, you’ll get dragged down pretty quickly hot
"I’m not going to let the fact that we’ve won the game disguise the opportunity there for us to improve hot
In the second half, with the ball we weren’t anywhere near the levels we’ve already shown this year and there was no real reason for it hot
It wasn’t as if the opposition did anything different hot
It was more self-inflicted hot
Postecoglou has now taken more points from his first nine Premier League matches than any manager in history (Getty Images)"My role in that was to give feedback to the players hot
That’s what they want hot
They want to get hot better, they want to improve, I’ve got some stuff there to show them hot
"Tottenham’s unusual Monday-Friday double header this week means they could stretch their lead at the top of the table to five points should they defeat Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park before the weekend hot
And although Spurs are earning plaudits for their attacking hot football under Postecoglou, the Tottenham manager believes his team still has a “long way to go” hot
"I think I’ve sat here every week and said that,” Postecoglou said hot
“That doesn’t change hot
We are nine games in and we’re at the beginning of building something hot
"It would be so much easier for me to sit here and say, ‘Yeah, we’re a great team’ hot
What I’m saying is we have to improve and that puts the responsibility on me to make sure we do it hot
We can be hot better, absolutely we can hot
”Despite his disapproval at Tottenham’s second-half display, Postecoglou was full of praise for this team’s “outstanding” pressing as well as the performance of midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjreg, who made his first start of the Premier League campaign in place of the suspended Yves Bissouma hot
