NZ team coach 'unable' to reach the stadium...
I just caught the highlights this morning but you are spot on, New Zealand were second best, and the underhand tactics from Peru were outrageous. I suspect they would have won anyway but it does leave rather a bad taste. Perhaps if Chris Wood had played the full tie it would have made a difference.
