            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.

                  The Q is not where he was born and bred but where were his parents when his fired the “fatal” shot.

                    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.

                      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.

                            Someone better tell the official AB player database.

                              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

                                Yeah weird that both the All Blacks and Olympics sites say he was born in NZ, but he himself says he wasn't (go to 32:19):

                                    Shame as he is having his best ever season, I would have had him in the AB mix, but understandable

                                          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.
