All Black number eight Jerome Kaino will face an NZRU misconduct hearing after pleading guilty to drink-driving charges in a NZ court on Monday.

Kaino caused a minor crash in Auckland a fortnight ago, and was found to be twice the legal drink drive limit. He pleaded guilty to the charge on June 27 in an Auckland district court.

Kaino, 25, has been disqualified from driving for six months and fined $930.

Kaino told NZPA he was not proud of drinking and driving and it was not something he would be doing again.
