French win 9-8.
Unbelievable effort by France to lose 2 pool games (one to Tonga) and make the final!
Good effort by Wales after their captain got sent off half way through the first half.

A couple of stats
- The only time in WC history these four sides made it to the semi-finals was the first WC, when NZ actually won
- No side has won a WC Final after losing a pool game, NZ are the only side of the final four to have not lost a match in the WC so far

I've watched a few minutes of this, quite enjoyable. I don't think I've ever lasted this long watching Rugby League before. Union is much more watchable for me.
