I'm not reading anything in to the result with such a weak NZ starting eleven.
Not a single player who started in the World Cup.
Only Jesse Randall took the field during the World Cup - and only as a sub (60 mins total over 3 sub apps)
Five of the starters weren't in the World Cup squad.
Of the subs who came on in the second half of the Palestine game, Callan Elliott made one 13 min. sub appearance in the WC,
Tyler Bindon started the final game v Belgium but was a late sub in NZ's first two games, McCowatt started two games and made one sub app.,
while Stamenic and Just started all three WC games.
The other Palestine subs Gray, Dyer, Wilkins and Ukich weren't in the WC squad.
