Script:
SOUNDBITE: (English) Robin McBryde, Wales forwards coach:
"We know we're going into the weekend against Australia having been given a bit of time to work on things and we're looking forward to the challenge. It wasn't so much a sigh of relief that we've qualified for the quarter-finals it was more a quickening of the heartbeat thinking about what could be ahead. On the basis of that and the momentum going into this game, we've just got to keep it going and keep going about things in the manner that we have. No respite, just keep going as hard as we can."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Robin McBryde, Wales forwards coach (asked about taking on Australia's scrum):
"We've got to be smart, we're fully aware of the threats that Australia pose, but also have the knowledge that we were awarded a penalty try against them last autumn when we last played them. So we've got to take a bit of confidence from that. Obviously they're benefiting from the experience of Mario Ledesma the scrummaging coach, there's a certain Argentine flavour to their scrum and the way they go about it, so the challenge is there. Fortunately by Saturday we will have had a full week to focus on those perceived weaknesses in our scrummaging."
SOUNDBITE: (English) Robin McBryde, Wales forwards coach (asked if he hopes England fans will support Wales now they're out):
"The Duke of Cambridge is an avid supporter and it was good to have him in the changing room after the Fiji game and he's going to support Wales. If he can convince his brother Harry to put on a Welsh shirt in one of the games that would be great to see as well. It would be nice, seeing as the World Cup is this side of the world, if we can get behind one of the home nations whoever it is. Get that north, south divide into play on a rugby front, not just a cricket one."
