Wales fullback Liam Williams believes their recent history means they can win the Rugby World Cup for the first time.

Wales have yet to enjoy a better finish than the third-place they managed at the 1987 Rugby World Cup.

But Williams is convinced they can go all the way at Japan 2019.

Wales, who won this season's Six Nations with a Grand Slam, face France in the quarter-final in Oita on Sunday.

They have beaten France seven times in eight matches since a dramatic 2011 World Cup semifinal loss.

Another victory over the French would see Wales into a semi-final with in-form hosts Japan or South Africa.

Looking at the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals this week, Australia will face England at 7.15pm this Saturday, All Blacks will play Ireland at 10.15pm, Wales will take on France at 7.15pm this Sunday while Japan will face South Africa at 10.15pm this Sunday.
