Why he play for NZ? He play in J1, much better. If me, I no want to play for NZ.
Japan high for NZ. We 37, you 57.
Would he make the Japanese team? Probably no, would he do well in the NZ team? Probably yes (if he has improved as suggested).
Of course he wouldn't make the Japanese team. Firstly he's not eligible and secondly he's not good enough. There is a big gulf in class between Japan and New Zealand. He would definitely have a chance with the All Whites given our lack of quality in that area now.
