Surely there has to be a better way to decide for third spot

Than a humiliating game that neither side wants to play. I'm sure all the Welsh and ABs want to do is go home and get over their Semi final loss.
Just calculate who has the most points overall and give them the bronze.

Boat races!

Make it a festival match like the Coronation shield match in 1956. Make two teams out of the squads and let them play.
@jegga Except they would feel like court jesters on public display for the world to ridicule...Nup.. get the calculator out and give it to the team with the most points..if that's tied then the most tries...if that's tied double the bronze medals and make them joint winners.

Shag v Gats, best of 5, rock paper scissors. Ok
An arm wrestle between them perhaps?

@The-Eagle holy shit, all the old cnuts coming out of the woodwork this week!

There's only one way to decide...a long table full of ice cold Steinlagers...Hansen and Gats drink as many as they can and the first to go to the loo loses.

Played in a 7's tournament in Cancun awhile back. We were so hungover at the actual event we got to a 3v 4 playoff or maybe 5v6 against a team called 'Off in church' we thought they were a religious team....nope just some witty blokes.
Apparently 'no one beats off in church'
We ended up having a boat race instead of the match and can say that we all beat off in church that day.

how about a count back on
boundariestries... that seems a fair way to do it.Sure both teams will be despondent in general, however Im sure the players will want to send their mates/coaches who are retiring off with a win.

I don't know why we need to worry about who comes third. There's the winners and the people who lost the final. Everything else is loser territory.
Seeding should be done a year before according to rankings.

If seedings were done a year before it would make a lot more sense

Paper,scissors, Rock, first to 10

Yeah, it was probably a little far out, but better than results 4 year's previous.

Why even bother finding 3rd place. What relevance is there?
As an aside boxing doesn't have 3v4 at the Lumpics. Just two bronze medals.
Why make the players bash themselves up even more for meaningless match.
Seeding is done on rankings anyway.
@booboo the worst thing about it , we have to get up for this match, imagine being in the first All Black team to have lost to Wales since 1953..meaningless or not the press will be all over this if it turns south.
