1987 - 1st Rugby World Cup New Zealand & Australia Tournament 3rd Place Playoff: Wales vs. Australia [Full-time recording, English commentary] [A Memorable Match for 3rd Place] This is a rather niche match. Both teams were defeated in the semi-finals and fought with disappointment, but the game heated up rapidly. Because it was the 3rd place playoff, it was free from excessive tension, and it was a great match that reminded us how fun and beautiful rugby truly is. Wales' dramatic come-from-behind victory near the end of the match. Wales secured a valuable 3rd place in the 1st World Cup. This match was previously selected as one of the [24 Best Rugby World Cup Matches] broadcast on SKY PerfecTV.
