Soccer: Herbert takes a dab at Fallon
 
17.04.05

 
Rory Fallon could soon swap an England jersey for a New Zealand one if he receives clearance from Fifa to play for the All Whites.

The son of former New Zealand coach Kevin Fallon, who helped guide the All Whites to the 1982 World Cup finals in Spain, Rory has played for England's under-17 side.

But All Whites coach Ricki Herbert is keen to include the 23-year-old striker, who's currently playing for English League One club Swindon Town, in his squad to take on Australia in London on June 9.

Herbert is seeking clarification from the world governing body whether Fallon could play for New Zealand, who has been a regular in the Swindon side this season.

Well done Rory if he does, as has been said, could be great for his confidence. Although being beat 5-0 by Fidji may not help all that much.
