    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

    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.

        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.

                  Good effort. One wrong. One of your wild guesses. They were 4th.

                                    Meh. I hope we win. If we win, by my calculations, we'll be ranked second, which is a fair reflection of things.

                                          Wales have 143 points in total in this RWC...All Blacks have 210...All Blacks get third place....now both teams can go home to get over not winning the 2019 RWC 🙂
