The Wales captain Sam Warburton says his team deserves to be in its first Rugby World Cup Semi-Final since 1987.

Wales has been the in-form team at the World Cup and will play the unpredictable French side this Saturday for a place in the final.

The 23-year-old, the youngest captain at the tournament, says there's something special about the Welsh group.

Warburton says there's a lot of confidence in the squad given their performances so far at the Cup, and says the four months they had together leading up to the tournament allowed them to bond like a club side.
