#AllWhites team to play South Africa: Moss, Tuiloma, Boyd, McGlinchey, Rojas, James, Thomas, Roux, Payne, Boxall, Durante.

That was pretty much the only options he had unless he was going to get Brockie to score for the 1st time in 40 odd appearances and Howieson suffers from duplicity and better talent around him. The other 4 will get a sniff but a back 2 of Adams and Musa is scary.

Grumpy old bastard alert

4-1-4-1 Apparently. Payne and Boyd the 1s.

Playing in the DM role hurts the Payne for Nix campaign, we already have a few options there. Would like to see him a bit further forward but with no LB, we wont see Tuiloma in there yet.

I thought this game should have been stopped with all the withdrawls, namely from the SA side. But after thinking about it these last few days. I think it would be good wit us feilding a younger side. But to be fair to those players, we need more than 1 game here and there. They are not going to build too much from a one off. There needs to be a concerted effort. For example some of these players featuring in this game have individual skills that certainly will make them better pkayers in 2 or 3 years time and then, they really will take off. Players like McGlinchey will become the elder statesmen of the side and make for a great Captain in my opinion. 

I will watch the game with interest. I hope guys like Musa show some form. I liked him at the Nix but thought lack of game time and not pkaying him in a proper position hurt his devekopment for two seasons. If the mentions about his form are true, it is good for him and for NZ football. Boyd is a player that I can see showing some form these next 2 years and he and Fenton will certainly be important to the Nix and their future if they keep progressing.

Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

Just wondering if anyone knows a pub/bar in Wgtn that will be showing this live? And not on one TV with no sound in the corner by the toilets.

In South Africa at the moment and in the local press a player is quoted at how fantastic this tour is in preparing them playing away in front of hostile crowds. Choke choke

The game was never going to be cancelled though, was it? By the time of all the SA withdrawals, and Smeltz and Kosta, all the contracts, travel and accomodation arrangements and TV deals would have been tied up.

The All Whites played 17 friendlies in the 14 months before the first World Cup qualifier in April 1981 against Australia on the road to Spain, during which they blooded several new caps such as Ricki Herbert, Grant Turner, Steve Wooddin, Keith Mckay and Allan Boath. Even more were tried and discarded or were established internationals who were phased out.
That included a very young selection featuring  the teenage Wynton Rufer and Ceri Evans entered in the Merdeka tournament in Malaysia in October 1980. Only Rufer from that squad later made the 1981-82 All Whites ,while Ceri Evans became a regular from 1983 on.

Hi bro, try either usagoals.com or if you know anyone with a mysky nz account use that and employ a tor browser or similar while watching on Chrome.  Don't try firefox and exploror though as it wont work then.  These two options always works a charm for me but as I'll be working at British Airways, I'll have to miss my first full AW game in about 5-6 years.

Not aware of a pub showing it with sound but will do some investigating today.

Backbencher will probably do it for us.

Incredible stamina. No shame. Yellow Fever.

Bencher have confirmed that the back bar will be football only, with commentary. Rugby in the front bar.

Crikey - its really hard to find a pub to watch the NZ National team when there is any rugby on..... I echo what someone said earlier about missing the Four Kings. I don't suppose the Grand might be showing it? It is meant to be the 'Home' of the Wellington Phoenix after all.

Yeah -got that thanks. I was just noting there are a lot of bars between where i live and the Back Bencher that will be playing the rugby between two teams that aren't even the Hurricanes and which hardly anyone will be watching anyway. Looks like the BB will be the place! Cheers.

Average age of 23.

In three years we might look back on this squad and think it was a good thing it was so young.
