    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.

    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!

    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 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

    Wales
    Us
    England
    South Africa
    Us
    Argentina
    Australia
    South Africa

    At a guess anyway, the first 3 are wild guesses

    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.
