OK - we now know that the Aussies beat Walesd and came 3rd.

BUT what a Final?
I think France should have beaten N.Z if not for the interpretation of infringing breakdown rules during the scrums.The English speaking referee should have spoken French instead and the Froggies may not have been penalised so often. How close can you be with a score of 8-7 after 80 minutes?

Anyhow - it was an excellent match to watch!
