Sparky's team (assuming Ardie is out hurt) for Bronze Medal match:
Moody, Coles, Laulala, S Whitelock, Tuitupolou, Cane, Todd, Frizzell, Weber, Mo'unga, Ioane, Crotty, Goodhue, Reece, BFA
Coltman, Moli, Ofa T, Retallick, Read, A Smith, B Barrett, SBW
Gives more of the squad game time. Gets the players who finishing up a chance to be on the field at the end.
Shag can't afford to make it a thank you & farewell selection.

All depends on which colour shirt you support.

@MiketheSnow Whatever team is picked by Hansen, the forward pack will need to redeem itself and perform much better at the breakdown.

We'll be fielding Neil Jenkins and a few supporters the number of injuries we've got.

Is it that bad Mike?
If so, it's a pity for Wales who of the 2 teams, probably have the most to gain from this match. Swansong for Gatland (and Wyn Jones I think?), bronze medal and a first ever victory over the AB's.
Hansen would normally have been tempted to give some of his fringe players a run. But the risk for NZ is that they lose 2 in a row at a RWC (last achieved in 99 I think?) and that they give up their record against Wales.Welsh fans likely to be the more chilled of the two sets i would think come Friday.

Legend or nutter? Bit of both I guess.

Ah. Thank you for pointing that out. I genuinely didn't know.
I consider myself suitably schooled and will administer the requisite uppercuts accordingly. -

@Billy-Webb Close. Alun-Wyn - with a hyphen. Alun-Wyn being his given name. made more complex by the somewhat confusing Welsh alphabet. U instead of A, LL (being Cl), dd (being f), csi (instead of x). Plus many more I am sure.

Eish.... Third time lucky for me then. Or is it fourth? Or fifth? I will now exit the stage with whatever shred of dignity I still have remaining...

Yep.
Liam Williams, George North gone in the backs.
Jonathan Davies and Hadleigh Parkes broken but playing.
Not many scoring opportunities if these four aren't firing.
@MiketheSnow Hadliegh Parkes? Wales is screwed.
