    The All Whites have netted eight goals in back-to-back internationals, demolishing Samoa 8-nil in their final World Cup qualifying group match in Auckland

    The All Whites have netted eight goals in back-to-back internationals, demolishing Samoa 8-nil in their final World Cup qualifying group match in Auckland


    A hat-trick to Chris Wood spearheaded the New Zealand victory, which sets up a semifinal against Fiji next March.

    Coach Darren Bazeley says scoreline aside, it wasn't an easy win.



    The winner of the New Zealand-Fiji semifinal will advance to meet either Tahiti or New Caledonia for a spot at the expanded 2026 World Cup.

    The beaten finalist will have another chance of qualification via an intercontinental playoff.
