Sudden scheduling chaos for Auckland FC and their A-League pre-season plans, thanks to Football Australia and a semi-pro Melbourne club

Auckland's Australia Cup semifinal opponents, Heidelberg United, had already booked an end-of-season trip to Las Vegas ... so the game's now tomorrow night - two weeks early.



Caleb Clarke is keen to return to the All Blacks fold as soon as possible.

After seven weeks on the sidelines, the Blues wing makes his return for his winless Auckland side in Sunday's NPC clash with champions Wellington in Porirua.

With the hurting All Blacks facing a showdown with the Springboks at Eden Park next weekend, Clark says he'd love to be involved - if he gets through his NPC hit-out in one piece.
