Wood, Libby and Payne. First two are our best two footballers, then after that it's a needs must scenario where an experienced Payne can help out in CB or even RB.
Our midfield is stacked with quality and this tournament is a great opportunity to get Old/Herdman confident in the national team fold.

I get the thinking but I'd rather have an absolute proven game-changer in Singh (who can play alongside Old if we need, with one of them in a front three). I'm not sure how NZF views this tournament, but being such a huge occasion I'd love to treat this as a statement and not a developmental opportunity - we have many other options for that
