Best sort of opponent we could realistically hope for, with WC qualifying underway around the globe.
Also given the need with FIFA travel restriction rules in International windows, that AWs had to play somewhere in OFC. The first game in the Oct window being Taihiti in Vanuatu.
Two games in the Oct window, rather than just the Taihiti game, makes it more worthwhile flying in the bigger names based up north. Well done NZF for finding a game.
AWs to play 5 games in NZ between October & March next year. A feast. Malaysia might be the toughest game of the lot.
