    So then why don't we have a fifth place playoff? What's the significance of third?

    It's not the Olympics ffs, it's a World Cup. Illogical.

    I don't mind the game's existence but it's certainly not in any way neccessary to determine anything.

    But a lot of things are sorted down to 3rd place was my point. :p

    Was it supposed to be sarcastic or something? I don't get it.

    South Africa, England, Ireland and Argentina would all have a claim to fifth. They all played in different groups so we can't just decide on that basis, but no-one gives a fuck who came fifth so we don't have a tournament to decide it. Third is not any more special IMO.

    Australia should win, but I feel that Wales may upset us.

    Does the IRB have any rules about fielding your strongest possible XV?
    Can see Horne, S.Faingaa, Barnes, Burgess etc starting if not.

    What's the point of this match? There is only one winner of the comp, the rest are all losers.
