Jerome Kaino returns

Jerome Kaino to return to rugby

The All Blacks have advised that Kaino will assemble with the Auckland team ahead of their Mitre 10 Cup match against Taranaki on Saturday night.

Kaino was not included in the match day squad for the All Blacks for their Bledisloe Cup test against Australia in Sydney on August 19 and returned home to deal with a personal matter following the publication of a story in the Australian media on the morning of the match. 

The Daily Telegraph in Sydney alleged he had had an affair with a model named Tara Pokarier.
