However, he was handed a yellow card after being substituted for signing autographs and taking photographs with fans.

The All Whites will meet New Caledonia in their final Oceania World Cup qualifier on Monday.

"We know how good New Caledonia are and we're going to have to be ready for them," said captain Wood.

"We know they're going to cause us problems. We need to focus on doing recovery well now and be ready to go Monday."
