As the Football World Cup edges closer, the All Whites are looking to finalise their squad.
In the most recent international, the team fell to Finland, but managed to pick up an impressive 4-1 over Chile.
Head Coach Darren Bazeley told Piney the Finland game was disappointing, but they had a solid review the following day that left them determined to not have that type of performance again.
He says that while the loss wasn’t ideal, the reaction and the real accountability they got as a result was great, and then on Monday, they got exactly the performance they wanted.

The Wellington Phoenix women have booked tickets to their first A-League playoffs with a 2-nil win over hosts Adelaide in their last regular-season match.
Brooke Nunn delivered the cross for the first goal in the 30th minute before putting herself in position for the second not long after.
Sitting in second, they're all but guaranteed direct entry into the semifinals.
Head Coach Bev Priestman told Piney the team should be immensely proud of the way they stepped up and performed in a context that is traditionally difficult for the visiting team.

Eyebrows have been raised over Super Rugby Pacific’s light schedule for the Easter weekend.
Only three matches were scheduled – the Crusaders v Fijian Drua, the Chiefs v Waratahs, and the Reds v Force.
CEO Jack Mesley told Piney they faced quite a few scheduling difficulties for the weekend when they were initially building the draw.
He says that the sporting landscape is very competitive over Easter, and while some might think they’re losing out, others could say they’d be missing a trick to go up against it, and that they’re being quite strategic about how they place their matches and how they compete.
“We’re pretty confident with what we’ve rolled out.”
