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.
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.

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

Hope it wasn't that miracle leg.

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.

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.

Waisake Naholo must have had the least successful NH club career of any ex-AB that went north.
