Smith has All White World Cup dream

The 19-year-old spent eight years in the country as a youngster and after being approached he has decided to try and win a place in the final 23-man squad for South Africa.He told the club's official website: "New Zealand made contact in December but I wanted some time to talk it over with my parents and the gaffer."The gaffer said that it won't affect my chances with Ipswich and told me if I'm fully committed then I should go for it."Obviously it's a great opportunity for me to play in the World Cup and not many players have that chance but I know I've got a long way to go to prove I'm worth a place in the squad."We have got a friendly against Mexico in Los Angeles in March and I'm hoping to be involved and start to impress everyone."
