*****
Kia ora, good afternoon and welcome to Newshub's live coverage of the football international friendly between New Zealand and Australia at Auckland's Eden Park.
This home-and-away series was organised when both nations were still battling for sports at the Football World Cup in Qatar later this year, and while the Socceroos have their bags packed for the tournament, the All Whites are still licking their wounds, after a playoff loss to Costa Rica.
They look on these fixtures as a chance to prove they should have been there, bearing in mind they will likely nail down a newly created Oceania spot at the next event anyway.
Coach Danny Hay has a full-strength squad for this rare home game and they put on a good showing at Brisbane during the week, when they went down by a solitary goal.
Hay rued the lack of finishing from his team, which isn't exactly a new problem, and they desperately need to find someone else except Chris Wood to threaten goal.
More than 35,000 fans have already bought tickets to the Eden Park fortress, which is a formidable venue for the All Blacks, but perhaps not so much for other codes.
The fixture will also be notable for the last appearance of English Premier League trailblazer Winston Reid for his country.
Join us at 4pm for kickoff.
