Some heavyweight talks have been going on behind the scenes to make sure the All Whites involved in Saturday afternoon's Phoenix-Perth football game in Christchurch are able to play.
The timing of New Zealand's first leg of the intercontinental playoff in Mexico means the players have to assemble in Los Angeles on Sunday, our time.
So Phoenix general manager David Dome's got the Perth game's kickoff time shifted forward half an hour, working with the likes of Australian and New Zealand Football, Sky and Fox TV and Air New Zealand - just so the All Whites can then make their connecting flights to Auckland and on to LA.
