Wales coach Gareth Jenkins admitted on Wednesday there can be no more excuses as his misfiring team arrived for the World Cup.
The Welsh squad have set up camp at their Brittany base in Pornichet, near St. Nazaire, ahead of their first game in the tournament against Canada tomorrow.
But having managed just two wins from their last 12 Tests, under-fire coach Jenkins knows it is time for his toothless dragons to show their bite.
Jenkins said: "We have a very excited group of players who are in good shape and have a fantastic appetite to do well in this competition, but now it's about playing."
"The World Cup is all about producing performances and most of all results. We've been clear from the start that we had a process we were working to in order to peak at this World Cup. I felt we followed that path but now the time has arrived to produce something to be proud of," he said.
Some 2,000 locals watched Jenkins put his Wales squad through their paces in France before naming his squad on Thursday for the opening Pool B game.
Gareth Thomas and Stephen Jones took a full part in training following knocks, and the Wales coach said his squad was in good condition.
"We only have one player not taking part in training [Ian Evans] so we have 29 out of 30 players available for selection, which is probably the best position we've been in all summer," Jones said.
