Aussies beat Wales in the 3rd place play off
Wales treated this match with the lack of focus the fixture deserved.
Putting the laughter back into manslaughter
Isn't there something usually riding on it? I remember back in the 90s when England lost to Lomu in the semis and they were in the play off and there was talk that the winner gets automatic qualification for the next WC
They would have already qualified I suspect.
The final kicks off in a minute.
New Zealand 5-0 France at half time. France have done well.
Try for France!
Try for France!
France have been quite unlucky. That NZ kicker has been terrible though.
NZ 8-7.
And it is converted!
New Zealand 8-7 France.
Missed pelanty for France, it was way out but they had to go for it I suppose.
Oddly I find myself cheering on the French...despite the way Wales were knocked out.
It could be that France have won me over because they've showed 'great mental strength and team spirit' and really deserved to win this final. Or it could be that I don't really give a shit and just want some drama.
The truth is probably somewhere in between.
