Good summary of who would be available. Henry Cameron still at TW? Another ex AW.

But if ACL made likes of Rojas, Kosta & Roux unavailable, becomes a really questionable fixture from an AWs perspective, and would no doubt rule out a number of A League Socceroos for Arnie as well. 


Come Feb/March next year, why not squeeze 3 A League rounds into 2 weeks (same with Handy Prem), with a round of mid week fixtures, to create a longer March international window, and play a AWs v Socceroos game just before each country's OFC & AFC March 2021 qualifiers.

Seems a more logical possible date slot, without ACL games, without interfering with A League club build ups towards Dec 27th, and may just be a chance that come Feb/March next year domestic Kiwis (eg Handy Prem players) can travel to certain Australian states and return to NZ without having to go into 2 weeks MI. 

So in many ways trying to squeeze in a NZ v Aus fixture Feb/March next year makes more sense.

Not in NZ atm according to @NZPhotomac. 

ACL games start on the 19th November, so could always play at the very start of the window to get access to those players or even before the window (if FIFA allows that) cuz none of the players have club commitments atm.
