All Whites coach Darren Bazeley is surprised to have a fully fit squad to choose from for tonight's World Cup qualifying contest against Fiji in Wellington

21 March 2025

The 23 players have assembled from America, Europe and Australasia to push to be Oceania's direct entry into next year's 48-nation event in North America.

Bazeley is stunned the full squad emerged from last weekend's club matches unscathed ... but says that rare occurrence has made it difficult to select a starting eleven.

Kickoff's at seven at Sky Stadium.
