WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Veteran loose forward Jerome Kaino is in line for an All Blacks recall after missing the opening four rounds of the Rugby Championship due to a "personal issue".

The 34-year-old dual World Cup winner played all three tests against the British and Irish Lions but flew home to New Zealand shortly before the Rugby Championship opener against the Wallabies in Sydney.
