AT A GLANCE

What: World Cup Qualifying, stage three Where and when: Westpac Stadium, Wellington, 7.35pm Tuesday TAB: New Zealand $1.15, Fiji $15, draw $6 New Zealand: Stefan Marinovic (gk), Deklan Wynne, Themistoklis Tzimopoulos, Michael Boxall, Bill Tuiloma, Dane Ingham, Michael McGlinchey, Chris Wood, Shane Smeltz, Marco Rojas, Glen Moss (gk), Alex Rufer, Ryan Thomas, Clayton Lewis, Sam Brotherton, Tom Doyle, Kip Colvey, Moses Dyer, Tommy Smith, Jai Ingham, Andrew Durante, Tamati Williams (gk). Westpac Stadium should also help their chances after battling through the soft, long grass at Churchill Park in Lautoka.

That should allow the All Whites to play at a tempo which will put Fiji under a lot of pressure, Rojas said.

‘‘We played a bit of the first half [on Saturday] at their pace and that’s not what we want to do, we want to play at a higher tempo and try and suffocate them. We’ll look at that and see if we can put it into practise tomorrow.’’

Changes are afoot for the match, with the likes of Dane Ingham, Tom Doyle, Tommy Smith likely to get starts across the back five, while captain Chris Wood was absent from Monday’s training after picking up a knock on Saturday.

Shane Smeltz would get a start up front if Wood was unable to play, but centre back Andrew Durante expected Wood to be OK.

‘‘He should be all right, the big man is just getting a bit of treatment, he’s a little bit old now...he’ll be fine.’’

A draw would be good enough for New Zealand to win group A of stage three of Oceania World Cup qualifying.

Stage four is a home and away playoff against the winner of group B, which Tahiti currently leads.
