Joe Rokocoko

*

One of the best players of all.  Josevata Taliga “Joe” Rokocoko (pronounced [rokoˈðoko], born 6 June 1983 in Nadi, Fiji) is a professional New Zealand rugby union player. Rokocoko is known for his speed and strength which has accounted for his incredible try strike rate. He is a specialist left-winger but has occasionally played on the right wing for New Zealand.

A great All Black.  Rokocoko has a standing 40 metre sprint time of 4.44 seconds and at his peak in 2003 was rumoured to have run the quickest 100m time in the All Black history of 10.3sec.  It was later equalled in 2005 by former Canterbury Crusader and team-mate wing Rico Gear. 

Josevata Rokocoko migrated to New Zealand with his family at the age of 5, settling in South Auckland and attending James Cook High School.  He later won a scholarship to Saint Kentigern College, where he was a member of the 2001 National Secondary Schools team.  After an outstanding career with New Zealand international sides at the under-16, under-19, and under-21 level, he started playing Super 12 rugby.  By the end of the 2006 season he had scored 35 tries in 39 test matches. To date he has scored 45 tries in 60 tests, including 4 hat-tricks in his career: against France (2003), Australia (2003), England (2004) and Romania (2007). He scored his first try since the 2007 Rugby World Cup against Italy in June 2009.

The most incredible moments in sport have a beautiful quality. Mesmerising play, strategic deception and changes in rhythm - a great match between sportsmen has a feeling of drama that is compelling. Simple pastime or incredible feats of athleticism, sport contains more than first meets the eye.
