21 epic images from the greatest night in Wales' Rugby World Cup history

You probably don't need something special to get you in the Rugby World Cup mood ahead of Wales versus Australia.

But we're going to provide it anyway.

As Warren Gatland's team get ready for their most important match in four years, by a quirk of fate the game coincides with the never-to-be-forgotten 2015 World Cup triumph over England at Twickenham.

There's nothing quite like beating the old enemy. But when you do it in their own backyard, and in their own tournament, it becomes even more of a moment to cherish for Welsh rugby fans.

One of Wales' greatest victories in history took place four years ago this week, so why not recapture the day?

This is our picture special of a game when Dan Biggar didn't miss a single kick and an injury-ravaged and reshaped Welsh backline came out on top when scrum-half Lloyd Williams, playing as an emergency wing, brilliantly kicked ahead for Gareth Davies to score.

There's no point repeating the match report, but here are 21 awesome images that tell the story of the World Cup night Wales stormed Twickenham...
