    The Wellington Phoenix have made an effort to ignore the hype around the inaugural Kiwi Derby against Auckland FC this afternoon in the capital


    Battle lines were drawn last week, after Nix fans flew a plane prior to Auckland FC's match against Sydney FC, with a banner saying 'New Zealand is yellow'.
