We should win this pretty comfortably, and having Chris Wood makes that a lot easier, since we have a reliable goal threat. Generally, when we lose Oceania games it's because we concede a silly goal and can't score.
Wood is probably the best to ever play for the All Whites, and I think he deserves a second crack at the world cup, and it's pretty neat that he's always so keen to turn out as well.
Based on the performance against Fiji, I can't see us getting out of our pool, our defence looks pretty shaky. Fiji were desperate unlucky not to get a couple against us.

Man, it's quiet in that stadium.
Well, nothing much coming through on the TV sound.
They usually drown out the sound on TV these days. They do it at Sky Stadium now as well.
I remember the round robin Canes game I went to against the Chiefs last year and the atmosphere was brilliant. Watched the game again on tv the next day and you couldn’t hear anything.

De Vries setting up the breakthrough goal like he does on a weekly basis for Auckland FC.

NZ the fifth country to qualify joining USA, Mexico, Canada and Japan. Even New Caledonia gets another chance to make it some time next year.
First half was pretty tame last night, noticeable change in tactics in the second half to just get more crosses in given that every corner caused a huge degree of panic. It took Wood to be taken off before the goals came though.

Yeah was funny because whipping in crosses to Wood wasn't really working, so Barborouses came on and it actually opened up the park a bit and bought the New Caledonia defence forward which allowed us space to move I'm behind them as they were so deep when Wood was out there.

No news to worry about money for the rest of his life now. Sounds like his quality of life isn't great though
