NZ verus New Caledonia tomorrow at 1pm.
Tahiti as hosts & with 3 Group B wins you'd favour to beat Fiji in the other semi, but remember reading somewhere, there is now pattern of teams finishing Group runnerups to NZ in OFC tourneys, then going on to win their semi against the other Group winners. Like after playing NZ they are better for that tough game experience or something.

Remember the name Tiahiti Colombani. The Tahiti U-16 Men’s captain has lit up the OFC U-16 Men’s Championship in Papeete with some brilliant individual performances.

Technically gifted Colombani, whose grandfather Roland is a former Tahiti international, is one of the brightest young talents in Oceania. And he’s has just signed a contract with French Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre after spending last season at Ligue 2 side ASM Belfort.
