I think we have to give Hudson to the world cup qualifiers. He is re-building us from the ground up and needs to confidence that he has a mandate and the support to do that. We've seen what Australia is like now with the previous regime only papering over the issues and not building for the future.

I still think he's the best choice for the All Whites (and I was dubious when he was signed) - he has shown he is happy to shake things up and make the hard calls which is what we need.

I'm confident that his ambitions coupled with his self belief will give us the best chance of qualifying, and leave us with a re-generated squad. To me this isn't about just the world cup, its about setting up the senior team for success for the next couple of world cup campaigns.
