Last pool game verus Japan is Friday 3rd Oct (Saturday 4th our time) so yes all 13 Nix and AFC players won't be back in NZ for that R2 NL match.
To be fair I think most of those 13 players have been rested through alot of the July-August re Central & Northern League matches. So both reserve teams maybe in reality not affected that much.
