Two good candidates for the Phoenix W league team if it gets off the ground.

well no, as it would be NZF driven in prep for 2023 WC - so they would be NZ eligible players

You think NZF would force the Nix to sign 100% NZ players? Seems a little far fetched, the Nix would have to exist as their own women's team beyond 2023.

That's right. Unless NZF agrees to bankroll the considerable cost of an W League side, no way Nix should feel compelled to make it 100% Kiwis.

If anything it sounds until recently (in Andy Martin's reign) NZF were more of an obstacle getting a W League team up and going.

Side will mostly be based in Australia, and I think Dome/Morrison have said it will contain some Aussies for sure (probably with W League experience). Also they have talked about including some players from the Islands as well.
