Congrats to Hosea Gear on attaining his 100th first class game try.
I'm in the camp who can't understand his continually being over-looked for All-Black call-up.
Even though I think Deaker's the biggest nong in sports media, I have to agree with his assessment of Guildford, (who got the current call-up to cover Cory Jane's injury instead of Hosea), no nous under pressure, cant kick, and given his RWC performance, suspect under the high ball.
I thought Hansen was particularly mean to say they were going to give preference to players who showed committment to staying in NZ, when there's been the rumour going the rounds Hosea might be looking at a move to Japan.
Hosea was distinctly gracious accepting the honour post-game last night, adding there were some aspects of his game he still wanted to work on, and NZ was the best place to do it.
Meanwhile, the AB's spot goes to the kid, short of talent, and who cant behave in public.
(Now rectified thank goodness).
