I think we will be sticking to FIFA windows in future for matches
Or just lowering our expectations for non-FIFA windows?
Given our experiences last time round is it worth getting the All Whites together at any opportunity, even if it sometimes effectively means putting out a B team?
I'm not sure myself actually. Probably only the coaching staff and players can answer that one.
I think its worth it. A number of these players will be star AWs in the future. Would rather they get blooded now and know the ethos then turn up to an important game and are not aware of how the AWs roll. Also makes casual football fans aware that we do actually play internations and gets people talking about our boys. If its good enough fo Mexico and Argentina, its most definately good enough for us.
Also: The All Blacks do this with the NZ Maori and against second string sides such as USA/Italy/Japan/Canada.
