Something is seriously wrong when Fiji plays freindlies against Singapore etc and we have.....
Would be good if the AW's did use these windows and play whoever is available.
Would give Schmid a chance to look at NZ and A-League based players.
Fiji, the Solomons, PNG etc. have not proven not be easy-beats for us in recent years.
New Caledonia have a striker (Gope-Fenepej) who played Ligue 1 in France (and against PSG in the Cup) last season.
The big new talent on the Pacific scene is Scott Wara of Stoke City who debuted for Fiji on the weekend in their 1-1 draw with the Solomons.
18 year-old centre-back promoted to Stoke's reserve side this season after impressing for the youth team last season.

Impressed Mark Hughes last season who had him training with the first team.
Think Schmid has now had enough time to assess the A League and Handy Prem type players - after Canada game and tourney in India. It’s now coming up to a year since most of the first choice players last played for the AWs (Peru games). Time to get the gang back together for a quality friendly or two and meet coach Schmid. Sorry see little value in playing any of the Island teams - but as usual the NZF beggars can’t be choosers.
