Jerome Kaino to return?

According to this article, Jerome Kaino will shortly be announcing his return to New Zealand rugby where he will play for North Harbour in the ITM Cup, the Blues in the S15 and he will be available for the All Blacks.

I would guess the majority New Zealanders will welcome the return of such a fine player but I'm guessing there are also a few of you who, like me, are wondering why Kaino wasted 2 of his best years stuffing around in Japan. 

Kaino may also find himself second choice behind Steven Luatua next year . . . not just for the All Blacks but for the Auckland Blues as well!

 Yes indeed he might.

Rooinek: It is understood Kaino will have an out-clause that will enable him to head back overseas if he is not able to regain his place in the All Blacks. He will earn $300,000 less than he earned in Japan even if he makes the All Blacks so he needs an escape clause.

Good news for NZ rugby, would of been great to have around this weekend.  

 The fight for a starting spot will only help NZ rugby.

 @Rooinek,
I don't think he will find himself second choice behind Steven Luatua for both AB and Blues.
For Blues he played more at 8 than at blindside and it's where he more probably will play next year sending P. Sailli to the bench.
And that will be a monstruous backrow: Luatua, L. Braid (who IMO has been the most inform openside of the Super Rugby comp the last 2 years) and Kaino. Uaaaaauuuu
And for the All Blacks he will be the incumbent blin dside. Before going to Japan he was by far the best 6 of the world. Last time he weared the black jersey, during the RWC, he was inmense, huge, the best loosie of the tournament.

Cloudy: this is what we get  back : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SfQZf8ohas a real loose forward not a KFC, french fries loving Boks "loose forward" but the real deal.
I am sure CleverMike would agree.
SBW returning , Kaino returning, it only gets worse for the men in green, lol

 Shit, what a quandry!....Kaino, Messam and Luatua. Who do you leave out?
