Welcome to the Phoenix!
Fun fact... Nikko had never played in the same All Whites XI as older brother Michael.

I'm picking the AWs CBs against China will come from Pijnaker, Payne, N Boxall, Kyle Adams & Surman. Brotherton may even come back into the mix now that he is back playing pro football in the USL
Tuiloma & M Boxall I'm picking will skip the games (friendlies under an interim coach after all) as their MLS clubs are playing through the March FIFA window. Same Tommy Smith (injured at the moment anyway) as League Two also plays through the window. Though if Colchester are looking safe from relegation, he could make it a good series of games to retire from the AWs in NZ aka Reid.
