 Rokocoko scored twice against his former compatriots |
Fijian-born New Zealander Joe Rokocoko scored two tries as the All Blacks beat the Pacific Islanders in Auckland. Rokocoko's 23rd and 24th tries in only 16 matches inspired the hosts to their fourth straight win this year.
But the Islanders, comprising players from Fiji, Samoa and Tonga, added four tries, two coming from another Fijian-born winger Sitiveni Sivivatu.
Sione Lauaki, who had an All Blacks trial this season, scored a superb solo try for the Islanders.
