New Zealand Rugby (NZR) confirmed in a statement that Kaino had returned home after the Daily Telegraph newspaper in Sydney claimed Kaino was having an affair with a 24-year-old Canberra model Tara Pokarier.

"NZR cannot comment at this stage on what is the personal matters, but we feel for all of those affected," chief executive Steve Tew said.
