What min in the video are they on at (assuming it was Tues morn episode?). Trying to find it on TVNZ+ and it's impossible as it's a > 2hr show and everytime I try and skip to any part (with no thumbnail previews) it plays me 45 seconds of ads.
Edit, nevermind I found it. They are on at 1:17:30.

Wood’s status will only be confirmed once that session is complete, while Bazeley is also keeping a close eye on three players who only arrived in New Zealand from Denmark on Wednesday.
Anyway 32 yr old Tommy Smith wants to hang in there for the 2026 WC, and interesting that he now regrets making himself unavailable in the early Hudson days. After obviously not being happy at the time, with AWs setup/preparation at the end of Herbert's era.

It's a team from wide & far the AWs.
Tomorrow the AWs take the field in NZ

The team has seen the devastation caused by Cyclone Gabrielle and want to contribute to the recovery effort
Starting tomorrow each player will auction a signed club shirt on TradeMe with all proceeds going towards the recovery effort 🤍🖤🌿 pic.twitter.com/1d8GKuzAug
The All Whites are home! 🇳🇿 😍

Don't know enough about China (and how much in season their players are) so not going to predict a score. Hope its not 0-0 though (last time we played at Mt Smart was a boring 0-0 vs South Africa if my memory is correct). Would rather lose 4-2 and at least show we can score goals (particularly if Wood doesn't play the 90 mins).

We did put 2 past Jamaica at Mt Smart prior to that, and it is the site of arguably the greatest AWs goal ever, so here's hoping they can at least get on the scoresheet.

Been even longer since they scored more than three times. 101 games and 8,664 days since beating Malaysia 1-5 in July 1999.
Still debating whether I should go along.
China have been in camp for three weeks prior to Thursday’s match and have been able to prepare with friendlies against Chinese Super League clubs.
Three centre backs in a home friendly against China. Really ambitious Darren. When I'm looking for a goal I'm always trying to squeeze in as many centre backs as I can
🥇 The winning team in training 🥇

Should be fun.

It had been up there since last weekend as a 3.30 pm broadcast on Sky Sport.
Sky must have wanted too much money from NZ Football to broadcast it.
Crazy that the football authorites in this country have to pay a broadcaster to screen games.

Based on that, this is the team I'd like to see. Mata for Wood if he's not fit and a toss up between Pijnaker & Smith.

My mistake, forgot about that.

Hopefully a big Chinese diaspora turns up.
It's a rubbish time really. Plenty of first team footballers around Auckland will have their final training before the season starts this weekend and I wouldn't say too many would be keen on missing that for a friendly.

No Wood for this one either.
Good chance for Mata to step up in his absence here.
Would of liked to have seen Greive in for Kosta though...
