The All Whites are taking no chances when it comes to their looming pair of World Cup qualifiers on home soil

6 November 2024

An all-but full-strength squad's been named for games against Vanuatu on November 15 and Samoa on November 18.

Joe Bell, Callum McCowatt, Sarpreet Singh and Finn Surman all return after missing the October victories against Tahiti and Malaysia.

Coach Darren Bazeley's happy to have such a strong group at his disposal.

Bazeley says Old - who's now with Saint Etienne in the French top flight - is rehabbing his knee injury and should be back in around three month's time.
