    All White Callan Elliot's starting in the Japanese right back's place for the fourth straight week in today's A-League derby clash with the Phoenix.

    Sakai's set to return next round - but Hall's comfortable with his replacement, who featured for over 40 times for Wellington before moving to the Black Knights.



    Kickoff at Mt Smart's at 5pm.
