From 1981 to 1985, he played 39 matches for the All Blacks. But in 2005, Pokere was sentenced to two and a half years in jail for conspiracy to defraud investors of $NZ4million, relating to a company that he ran with three others, all Mormons, that targeted fellow church members, many of whom were friends and family of the quartet.
