Join us for live updates as the All Whites play their biggest match in eight years, when they take on Peru for the final place at the FIFA World Cup.

Star striker Chris Wood has again been left on the bench for the All Whites' do- or-die 2018 World Cup playoff second leg against Peru.

Elsewhere, Tommy Smith seems to have not overcome his calf issue, left on the bench in place of Andrew Durante.

ALL WHITES XI: Stefan Marinovic; Kip Colvey, Michael Boxall, Winston Reid (c), Andrew Durante, Deklan Wynne; Ryan Thomas, Michael McGlinchey, Bill Tuiloma; Clayton Lewis; Kosta 

Wood came into the All Whites' camp prior to their first-leg 0-0 in Wellington with a hamstring issue, and only played 19 minutes

He'll likely come off the bench in the hope of snaring a late winner or equaliser.

Marco Rojas has also been benched in favour of the more defensive Bill Tuiloma, suggesting a more attritional tactical approach.

A win or scored draw will see the Anthony Hudson-coached All Whites qualify for just their third World Cup, and their first since 2010.
