1983

Jerome Kaino (born 6 April 1983) is a former New Zealand rugby union player.

Kaino was born on 6 April 1983 at Lyndon B. Johnson Medical Center in Faga'alu, located in the U.S. territory of American Samoa as the third of six children.

1987

In 1987 at the age of 4, he and his family relocated from their home village of Leone, Tutuila, to Papakura, Auckland.

After settling in Papakura, he played junior rugby league for the Papakura Sea Eagles before switching to rugby union in secondary school at Papakura High School and Saint Kentigern College where he was offered a rugby scholarship.

He attended both schools with former All Black John Afoa.

If Kaino had not come to New Zealand following the lead of his uncle, his relatives assumed that he would have enlisted in the United States Army.

2004

In 2004, he was named IRB International Under-21 player of the year.

Kaino made his Auckland debut in 2004 and his Blues debut in 2006.

Kaino's return from injury saw him become the national side's first-choice blindside flanker.

2011

In 2011, he was named the New Zealand Rugby player of the year, finishing ahead of Richie McCaw and Ma'a Nonu in the voting.
