Yeah we ain't favourites. Regardless if they run out a virtual 2nd string team, they are at home and on a 9 game winning streak. In comparison we have lost our last 4 matches.
But yes we should be trying to keep it tight, somehow score, and at least target grinding out a draw.
This website has had a guess at possible starting lineups, based on who is available. But they don't seem to know much about NZ, as if Bell is fit he starts.
Can also see 36 yr old Boxy getting a rest for Bindon.
