He is a left-wing specialist, but the All Blacks have played on the right wing for a brief period of time.
Early life
Born 6 June 1983 in Nadi, Fiji, Rokocoko, Rokocoko, and his family and family immigrated to New Zealand at the age of 5, settling in Weymouth, South Auckland, where he attended James Cook High School. Rokocoko won a scholarship to Saint Kentigern College, where he was a member of the 2001 National Secondary Schools team. He began playing Super 12 rugby after an outstanding career with New Zealand international teams at the under-16, under-19, and under-21 levels.
Personal life
Rokocoko asked New Zealand rugby management to include Josevata, his Christian birth name, on team announcements, despite being commonly known as Joe.
He is the cousin of former Auckland Blues and All Black winger Joeli Vidiri, as well as New Zealand sevens player Iliesa Tanivula. Sivivatu and his sibling, Sitiveni Sivivatu, regard themselves as cousins because Sivivatu was a member of the Rokocoko family but not blood relatives.
In January 2008, Rokocoko married Beverly Politini, the daughter of Howard Politini, a Major in the Fiji Military, at a wedding attended by a large number of All Blacks. They have a son named Cypress Rokocoko.
