A huge improvement by Warren Gatland’s young side since the Six Nations has left them a game away from the World Cup final Toby Faletau is a man of very few words, which is why he was presumably the only player in Wales’s starting lineup made available to the media on the eve of the semi-final against France. The 20-year-old No8 did reveal, in between pauses, that he listened to Kings of Leon on the day of a match to help him relax, and the American band’s album Youth and Young Manhood could serve as a soundtrack to the odyssey of the men in red in New Zealand.
