    how about a count back on boundaries tries... 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

            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.

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

                @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.

                  If we win we take back second in the rankings, that's something imo

                    No cheating:

                    can you name all the " bronze medallists" in the history of RWC?

                    Nah, me neither

                        All but 2011. Can remember where I physically watched that game but potentially overindulged.
