All Black love rat revealed

MARRIED All Blacks star Jerome Kaino has been cheating on his wife with a former Australian model in a string of hotel hook-ups.

The revelation on the eve of today’s Bledisloe Cup match comes after New Zealand Rugby reopened its investigation into halfback Aaron Smith’s sexual encounter in an airport toilet cubicle. The latest scandal leaves the All Blacks’ reputation in tatters.

Ex-model Tara Pokarier met up with Kaino for sex in hotels in Auckland, Sydney and Brisbane before discovering he was married.

“She was devastated when she realised he had a wife and kids,” a close friend of the 24year-old said from Canberra.

Ms Pokarier was in Auckland last May when she arranged via Snapchat to meet Kaino. “It was a purely sexual relationship,” she told the friend after their tryst.

The forward, who regularly posts loving shots with wife Diana and their children on social media, kept in touch with Ms Pokarier and suggested they meet in Sydney before last year’s Bledisloe Cup match. “He then came to her room at the Four Seasons in Sydney on the Thursday before last year’s cup match,” the friend said. Kaino gave her tickets to the game.

“She was blissfully happy with things and posting shots of them together on social media,” the friend said.

“Tara asked him about his relationship status and he tried to cover up that he was married. That’s when she stopped hooking up with him sexually.”

Ms Pokarier’s friend said she decided to reveal Kaino’s cheating before another woman fell for his charms.

Both New Zealand Rugby Union and Kaino’s agent declined to comment.
