Westlake oldboy Tiennan Costley has made the Japan training squad as a loose forward.
EDIT: He made the full squad too.

Bloody typical. Akira finally runs on to the ball at 100 miles an hour and smashes into the line like I have been wanting him to do for years. And then he says he's leaving.

Blame Jason not Akira. He does not look like he wants to leave.

In the video he says he is born and bred in Auckland.
He was born in Japan, born and bred just a phrase

The Q is not where he was born and bred but where were his parents when his fired the “fatal” shot.
A player who never reached the promised heights and ended up bit-part.

If he doesn't want to leave, he doesn't have to leave...
There are plenty of players his age who haven't left NZ yet (some All Blacks, some not).
It's not Jason Ryan's fault if Ioane thinks he deserves to get picked and isn't after one very good season.
Though of course a lot of assumptions are being made based on one Instagram post.

I'm in deep shock that information that is all over the internet is utter bollocks. Surely this is the first and only example of this?

It's poor, but not surprising. Fact checking is expensive and doesn't add to stories in teh short term. Reckons are usually way off base, but the AB official site getting something as fundamentally wrong as a birthplace is interesting.

You beat me to it
Screenshot because I'm sure it will change in the next day or so. The "NZ and overseas media" would've been getting it from here
Weird that it was left incorrect for so long

you assume he would say he doesnt look himself up on line....but i know i would if it was me, or one of my family would, really weird
It's not Jason Ryan's fault if Ioane thinks he deserves to get picked and isn't after one very good season.
To be clear, I think he got the word he wasn't in the selection frame, so is making a rational financial decision for his family.
you'd assume/hope so, i was looking forward to seeing him in black under a different coach
