Several of the All Whites' European based players may be forced to miss matches for their club sides this weekend, after being stranded in Wellington on Wednesday.
Like everyone else in the capital, the majority of the New Zealand team was unable to leave Wellington yesterday as fog blanketed the city and caused cancellation of more than 100 flights.
Most of the overseas based All Whites were already on a tight schedule to return home for this weekend's games and the events of yesterday have complicated things further.
The likes of Tommy Smith, Ryan Thomas and Themi Tzimpoluous are likely to miss all of their club team's trainings this week, and will also have much less time to get over the fatigue induced by jet lag.
Even local players are affected though, with Clayton Lewis set to forgo most of Auckland City's preparations for the Stirling Sports Premiership grand final this Sunday.
