Wales shud win the 3rd place. They deserve to win against the Wales as they are better performers of the RWC 2011 so far!
Wales should take 3rd place, they are a better team and should have won against France! im not sure what Amorita is on about but i say take us back to 1987 and show Australia how to play properly.
