    The All Whites' pair of South American football friendlies could give coach Darren Bazeley valuable insight heading towards next year's World Cup

    The All Whites' pair of South American football friendlies could give coach Darren Bazeley valuable insight heading towards next year's World Cup


    The team are without prolific striker and captain Chris Wood though injury for tomorrow's game against 13th-ranked Colombia and Wednesday's fixture against world number 23 Ecuador.

    Bazeley's likely options up top are Kosta Barbarouses, Andre de Jong and Ben Waine ... he says the trio may all get an opportunity to show their wares.



    Kickoff's at 1pm tomorrow.
