Tahuna Irwin is seen as one of the brightest prospects in Oceanic darts and showed this by claiming PDC World Championship qualification but he is set to miss out on the tournament it has been revealed.
The 21-year old Kiwi has been issued a 12-month travel ban to the UK; due to a mistake which came about when he came over for the World Youth Championship this month.
Irwin was issued with a one-way ticket by his management to the UK and was immediately sent back to New Zealand as a result and this has now caused further problems.
A replacement player will be announced in due course with Haupai Puha potentially in line to make his World Championship debut.
This is due to him leading the DPNZ Order of Merit, it could either be him or Craig Ross who lost out in the final of the qualifier to Irwin.

- When Littler has at least five ranking Majors he’s in the discussion, until then, forget it.Mysstree14-11-2024
- This is the difference between other players and Phil Taylor. Phil would be completely motivated even before his walk on and didn't need anything else to do so.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
- Still impressive though. Also literally everyone cares about averages that's what makes darts fascinating.medinabello14-11-2024
- BS he won a Euro Tour during this down period something that not many players can say. Dobey, Noppy, DvD, Ross Smith to name just a few.medinabello14-11-2024
- Maybe the supposed top players are burnt out from the endless travelling and tournaments, I just don't think they have the dedication or outright desire to win. I think they are more interested in the money and being popular, just keeping their rankings steady. The only thing that mattered to Phil Taylor was winning, not winning a few games to top up the money pot and seeking the fans attention. Maybe there is too many tournaments now and the enthusiasm is gone. This year especially has seen so many different winners and unexpected draws and line ups.richieburnettrocks14-11-2024
