But the problem with Wynne, and I assume Musa as well is that they must have lived in NZ for at least 5 years after the age of 18 to be eligible...Neither have
That's why you apply for a fifa exemption. Obviously something Wynne did as he does not qualify any other way. Wynne is now back. I guess musa has applied and is still waiting or is eligible and not been picked.
NZF Eligibility update: FIFA have approved the eligibility of 17/18 players for whom exemptions were sought. Only one remains: Deklan Wynne

And who were the other 17?
Hudson said last week that he couldn't pick Musa or de Vries.
When pressed by Gourdie himself as to whether that was because they were A, flat-out ineligible or B, in the process of having it sorted, he said B.
Two of the 17 will be Burfoot and Roux; the others I imagine are kids in the NZF mix.
