Wales vs Australia Live Stream Bronze Final Rugby 2011
Wales will meet Australia in Bronze Final of International Rugby World Cup 2011. The game will be played on Friday October 21st 2011 at 09:30 CET at Eden Park Stadium, Auckland. The noises coming out of Australia and Wales camp ahead of Friday's clash in Auckland have been very positive. The Wallabies say they are willing to end their campaign on a high and give their fans something to celebrate after Sunday demoralizing defeat rivals New Zealand. Wales, for his part, speaks passionately about matching their best ever final in a World Cup, which incidentally was achieved with a victory over the Wallabies last time the tournament was held in New Zealand in 1987.
Wales has been hailed in all corners of the rugby world for their brilliant displays in the World Cup but victory over Australia in the morning apply the more polished of the way finally agreed.
It may not be the World Cup final, but a meaningless third and fourth play-off? Not in Wales, it is not.
The shock of the bronze medal with the Wallabies is an opportunity for Warren Gatland's team really put a marker on the game world and enhance the legacy they have left on this gem of 2011.
Australia had a long injury list this week, with Sekope Kepu (eye), Stephen Moore (sternum), Dan Vickerman (several) and Pat McCabe (shoulder) all ruled out from the beginning. Robbie Deans had his hand forced a little and made wholesale changes for this match, including six new forwards and start reintroducing Kurtley Beale at fullback, which means that the deck needed baseline for the semi-final have invested.
