Match Summary:
A massive comeback from New Zealand saw them claim the third place play-off match against Wales, with the Kiwis fighting back from a 16-0 deficit midway through the second half to storm home with a 24-18 victory.
The Welsh were unstoppable in the first half, fullback Gareth David and centre Jason Mossop punching holes constantly in the Kiwi defence, before an inspired second half from the 2005 defending champions saw them post four quickfire tries to stun a tiring Welsh outfit. | | | |
