Reading the Sunday Star Times article about Seatter suggesting the
re-schedules match could be played in Australia, I'm sure I
remember Winston Peters saying that Australia has the same visa
rules as NZ about Fiji.
So I'd be interested to see if the match does get the go ahead to be played in Aus.

I also read somewhere that FIFA rules said we had to play in
one of the Oceana countries. Australia is in Asian confederation.
If we build it, they will come...

Noumea has also been mentioned. I was also wondering if it has to
be played in Oceania. Seatts where are you?

Yes, Australia has informed us that they will have the same view as
NZ in terms of visa applications. So, we are back in OFC. I think
that Noumea may be the best bet. In terms of a date - our
preference is June, as it is a new FIFA 5-day window, and Ricki
likes the date in terms of the pre-season ytaining programme for
his players. It also means that we do not push the qualifying
competition beyond September, which keeps the October FIFA 5-day
window as an option to play two games in Asia - hopefully the start
of preparations for the World Cup qualifying competitoin

Thanks Graham
I'd like to have been a fly on the all meetings that must have
taken place between NZ and Australian officials. I wonder whether
the NZ Government had to ask Australia to take the same visa
position? NZ would have been awfully embarrassed if the goalkeeper
was permitted to enter Australia but not NZ (when we are supposed
to have a common position re Fiji and Bainimarama). It would have
highlighted the poor design, application and self-inflicting
nature of NZ's policy.
It would be interesting to see the detail of Australia's
immigration policy for Fijians to see whether they have applied
exactly the same definition of "family" or whether they have had to
interpret with a view to maintaining solidarity with NZ.
If anyone is sufficiently bored or enough of an immigration
trainspotter that would be useful research.

though.....

Thanks for the Seatts!
So what are the chances of seeing the All Whites again before
the re-scheduled match???
We've finally broken into the 100 in the rankings, surely
someone would like to play us, even if it was an away game or a
neutral game.
I see we are now ranked higher than jamica, who were at
the last 2 world cups.
I say tackle him in the face.
