Former Wales wing Gerald Davies has backed the current team to progress from their group at the Rugby World Cup.
Warren Gatland's side have been pitted against England, Australia, Fiji and Uruguay in Pool A of the tournament, with the top two going through to the quarter-finals.
Despite being drawn in what looks to be a difficult group, Davies believes that Wales have what it takes to qualify for the last eight.
"If they beat England and Australia - and they've got it within them to do that - and top the group there's a good line to the final," he is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.
"People are talking about the pool being the 'pool of death' but when the World Cup comes around each game is going to be important. It depends how you play against that team on the day. Previous reputation has nothing to do with it in many ways.
"I'm quite confident in the Welsh team, provided they've got the tough, mental qualities to make sure that those games they ought to win they do win."
Davies won 46 caps for Wales between 1966 and 1978.
