Hosea gear snatched the Churchill Cup from England with an extra-time try for the New Zealand Maori.
The winger scored with four minutes left to give the Maori victory and leave England's players devastated after the scores had been level 19-19 at full-time.
England led 19-5 at half-time thanks to tries from Newcastle's Jamie Noon, converted by Falcons clubmate Dave Walder, who also kicked three penalties.
Noon's try was a beautiful crossfield move involving the outstanding Dan Scarbrough with Henry Paul delivering a one-handed pass for Mark Cueto to feed inside to the Newcastle Falcon.
But they lost the injured Alex Brown at half-time and the dazed Andy Hazell soon after the break.
And the Maori hit back with two tries in as many minutes through Caleb Ralph and Glen Jackson, who intercepted Paul's pass to race away and touch down for an easy conversion.
That leveled the scores at 19-19 until Walder's 72nd-minute penalty miss and he said: "I thought it went over but it wasn't given."
Jackson had his own chance to win the game in injury-time but missed, as did Walder with a drop-goal attempt in the first 10 minutes of extra-time. Newcastle's Micky Ward was among the replacements used by England.
