SOUNDBITE (English) Rob Howley, Wales backs coach:

"What happened to us in 2011 and the situation in the semi-final of the Rugby World Cup - is that we want to better that. And the only way to better that is to get to the Rugby World Cup final. I think that the attitude has been exemplary of our players. Fantastic and we will continue. Obviously, we have got a huge task this Saturday. And you don't look beyond that because we understand how big this game is. Each individual unit, each individual person coaches players. It's something that you look forward to - a quarter-final. We have been a part of one and we won that game. And we would like to be part of another one and win that one too. But it's going to be a huge task."

SOUNDBITE (English) Rob Howley, Wales backs coach:

"Saturday was pretty special. We were all asking ourselves - the English supporters - who are they going to support? The Aussies or the Welsh? For me, I think there were a fair amount of red jerseys in that stadium. I know London has probably got a lot South African supporters as well, so it will be interesting to see the balance of the crowd. We have always said about our Welsh supporters - whether it is at the Millennium Stadium, the Aviva or Twickenham - they travel. And they've certainly travelled and we have heard that voice. And I am absolutely 100 per cent assured that it will be the same this weekend."
