This weekend will be the 2nd time this season Auckland have played SFC, days after Sydney have had to travel midweek to Asia for a game.
Same happened way back in October, Smurfs losing 1-0 at Mt Smart, a few days after losing to Sanfrecce Hiroshima in Japan. Helped AFC that Costa picked up a niggle against Hiroshima and missed the match in Penrose.
Jammy all season the Black Knights.
Though the constant travel famously didn't affect CCM last season with their treble.
