      @bobily2 Not surprised, if true. 1) He has committed to Fiji; 2) the Crusaders have several talented backs coming through and 3) he hasn't been quite the same as before his serious knee injury.

        Sadly, a born and raised Fijian moving from a NZ franchise to an Australian franchise, explains the mildly surprising (to me) selection of an NZ-central-contracted player in the Fijian national team.

          Not confirmed by Panasonic, yet.

          Chiefs flanker Lachlan Boshier has again missed All Blacks selection so will not be returning to the Super Rugby club next year, and will instead head to Japan after signing a deal with Panasonic.

          The Japanese club will announce his signing later this month.

          https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/300335980/super-rugby-chiefs-flanker-lachlan-boshier-heading-to-japanese-club-panasonic


          Anyone else think that - if missing out of the ABs is indeed an important reason for his move to Japan - he's giving up too easily? Some All Blacks have had to wait for years to be selected. Boshier has only been in the picture for about 2 years. That's not long at all. He's 26; he could have waited until after the RWC. Injuries happen.

          It may just be Aaron Goile having a moan though.

            Remember that Boshier is not even guaranteed to start for the Chiefs in 2022 so if he is going to go overseas and make some good money now is the time to do it. The players he is competing against for AB honours are all younger than him.

              Yeah, you're right (unless Cane breaks again, which unfortunately has happened often, the last few years). I guess I was a bit triggered by Aaron Goile's tone in the article.

                Still think he has a small chance to come back and pick up a few caps.

                As opposed to zero chance if he went to Europe.

                  He's a perfect signing for that team, undervalued by the market and will contribute effectively to that team. Fucking Deans.

                          Waisake Naholo released by London Irish after an injury plagued two seasons. Has only played 40 minutes of a reserve game in the last 18 months.

                            Dumb assess, I guess they didn't want to cough up the flight to Fiji to get him fixed.

                                    He's been okay, but pretty firmly second choice. Spent a lot of the season banned though after two red cards for high shots, which probably didn't help him retention wise. Will still do a job somewhere though. Not sure if he's heading home or not.

                                        Waisake Naholo released by London Irish after an injury plagued two seasons. Has only played 40 minutes of a reserve game in the last 18 months.

                                        Hope it wasn't that miracle leg.

                                        It was this one, as seen in a rare appearance last season. Not sure if it's the magic one or not, but there was definitely no bloody magic this time.

                                          @margin_walker notice Motu Matu’u is in that bunch aswell.

                                          He's been okay, but pretty firmly second choice. Spent a lot of the season banned though after two red cards for high shots, which probably didn't help him retention wise. Will still do a job somewhere though. Not sure if he's heading home or not.

                                          He'd be excellent an excellent pick up for Moana Pasifika
