    Vaughan Coveny's full of praise for the man who's broken his New Zealand football record


    The All Whites have beaten Fiji 4-nil to advance to the Oceania World Cup football qualifying semi-finals in Qatar.

    Striker Chris Wood scored two goals, overtaking Coveny as the All Whites' all-time leading scorer with 30.

    Coveny says he's got many more goals to score.

    New Zealand play New Caledonia in their final group game on Friday.



    The Blues are almost back to full fitness after Covid spread through the squad last week.

    Positive cases within both the Blues and Crusaders camps forced the postponement of last weekend's Super Rugby Pacific match.

    Utility back Stephen Perofeta says majority of the squad is back at training ahead of Saturday's match against the Highlanders in Dunedin.
