The All Whites team that runs out to face the Solomon Islands on Tuesday will be one of the more experimental in recent New Zealand football history.
It's not quite the `baby All Whites' - like the celebrated All Black side of 1986 - but it's not far away.
Due to a variety of factors - including injuries, fear of possible suspensions and circumstances - almost an entire starting XI will be absent on Tuesday, including seven players who have been first choice picks during coach Anthony Hudson's reign.
As well as the injured quartet of Winston Reid, Tommy Smith, Marco Rojas and Shane Smeltz, Chris Wood and Ryan Thomas have been released back to their European clubs while Michael Boxall and Michael McGlinchey will sit out the match after they picked up bookings (meaning they are one yellow card away from a one game suspension) in Friday's 6-1 win in Auckland.
The list of absentees also includes regulars Clayton Lewis and Bill Tuiloma, who were omitted from the initial squad for this two leg playoff due to conditioning issues, and fullback Dane Ingham who was sent home from camp last week after failing a series of fitness tests.
