Interestingly, Jay Herdman has been selected for NZ U20 under Beazely

My guess is they hope everyone moves on then go back to market for a new head coach.


Not sure why Jay Herdman being selected is ‘interesting’ given he got best player award at qualifiers, Canada didn’t qualify and age group representation doesn’t tie him to NZ for seniors.
Would have been more interesting had he not been selected.


Its "interesting" from the point of view he is still committed to NZ rather than deciding it's time to switch to Canada. 

Canada didn’t qualify, it doesn’t commit him to NZ beyond this, and the U20 World Cup is a shop window. 
I thought I said all this already.
What else was he going to do? Say no thanks I’ll watch it on TV.?



Don't get salty! Perhaps he could just say "no thanks" and look to get into the Senior Canada squad which his father coaches. That is a bigger shop window than playing for NZ at an U20 world cup. Also playing for NZ puts him further into the NZ system who could call him up to the senior squad tomorrow and prevent him from playing for Canada ever. 
Yep, also NZF could say "no thanks" if they felt they were being taken for a ride by either Jay or his father. Like anything, the relationship between player and country has to be mutually beneficial and built on honesty and trust. Hopefully they don't fall for another Stensness situation.

It might only be mildly interesting but it's interesting none the less.
