Today on the Left Wing podcast we look ahead to the other huge World Cup quarter-final at the Stade de France this weekend as France take on South Africa on Sunday night. 

Sinéad Kissane is joined by Illtud Dafydd - a Welsh journalist who lives in France - who's been following France and the Boks this week. 

We also hear from former New Zealand Maori coach Colin Cooper who's coached Jamison Gibson-Park and James Lowe in the past and he gives some insights into the drive and ambition of the players at the time.
