    Dan Hall's content with life in the Auckland FC defence while club captain Hiroki Sakai is out injured


    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.
