New Zealand have come third in the Rugby World Cup.

They picked up the bronze medal and beat Wales 40-17 in a very tense third-place play-off!

The All-Blacks, as they're known, scored four tries in the first half, which meant they were already up by 28-10 before half time.

They kept the momentum going in the second half, for New Zealand captain Kieran Read's last international appearance.
