Ireland was always the dream for Boss

Despite growing up in New Zealand, scrum half Isaac Boss insists his dream was always to play in the green of Ireland rather than tog out for the All Blacks.

Boss was born in Tokoroa, the same North Island town as Wallaby fly-half Quade Cooper, but with a grandmother from Glenarm, Co Antrim, Boss was drawn to the prospect of playing for the Emerald Isle.
