New Zealand Football won't make World Cup review public

8:52 am on 20 October 2010

New Zealand Football won't be making public a report on its World Cup campaign.

After the 2007 Rugby World Cup and coach Graham Henry's controversial rotation policy, the New Zealand rugby union released a 50-page report on the team's failure at the tournament and their elimination in the quarter finals.

That report was carried out by SPARC as was the All Whites one, with SPARC having invested over $600,000 of public money in the campaign.

But despite the All Whites' unbeaten run in the South Africa New Zealand Football chief executive Michael Glading says the report was never intended to be made public.
