Matt Orr scored on his debut today for Hong Kong in a 3-1 loss to Iran in World Cup qualifying. Has a Kiwi father and passport. Plays for Kitchee in the Hong Kong league after spells at US colleges
That's not a bad result for HK. Iran would score that many against us too, if not more.
He's probably made the best choice for his international career. Look how few games Wood, Reid and Smith have played even though they have been part of the national team for over 11 years. He'll eclipse their numbers in 4/5 years.
If he's been told he'll get picked for Straya it's a no-brainer really. Look at who they regularly play and how often they play compared to us.
Sad but NZF has chosen it's lot and this is what we get.
Not really sure NZF had much of a choice of moving to Asia. Think the lad has done fairly well out of NZF. You think he’d be at Viking without the Olympics and the Joe Bell connection?
