New Zealand run Wales ragged to clinch bronze medal

The All Blacks signed off the Steve Hansen era with six tries in the highest scoring 3rd-4th place playoff in Rugby World Cup history.

81'		40-17 End of second half
80'		The gong goes, the Barretts are running rapidly to the Wales line, someone's lost their shorts (not a lie), and then it all breaks down and the final whistle is blown. Game over. The All Blacks finish third in the Rugby World Cup, having won it the two previous times. Wales finish fourth for the second time in their history. Steve Hansen signs off with a victory, Warren Gatland signs off with a defeat. Everyone can now reflect on seven weeks of exacting, demanding rugby and a fine, fine effort from everyone involved.
78'		Player substituted - Dillon Lewis , Wales
