He established himself as more of a regular in 2015, making 8 appearances as the Bulls reached the competition's semi-finals before going down to . 2016 was largely a year of frustration as injury held him back in the early part of the year and once fit again he mostly had to make do with substitute appearances in a competitive Taranaki side which once again made the Mitre 10 Cup semi-finals.[4] [5]
Season ending injuries to flankers Mitchell Karpik and Sam Henwood, saw Boshier called into the Chiefs Super Rugby squad early in 2016.

Boshier represented New Zealand at schoolboy level and was a member of the New Zealand Under-20 side which competed in the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in his home country.[6] [7] [8]
