    Captain Alex Rufer has plenty to cheer about despite a poor run of form for the Wellington Phoenix


    The Nix have one win from their last five games, the most recent a 3-1 home defeat to Newcastle.

    However, Rufer has experienced the joy of taking newborn daughter Harper out onto the Cake Tin field for the first time.



    The Nix host the Central Coast Mariners on Sunday afternoon.
