AlamaIeremia and New Zealand gained mutual benefit from the loose international eligibility regulations which were in place until the mid 1990s when stiffer requirements were put in place.
Ieremia's promotion was rapid for after the All Blacks had lost a two-test series against France in 1994 he was introduced for the three tests against the Springboks, playing at second five eighths with Frank Bunce, another who had been blooded by Samoa at test level, outside him at centre.
Ieremia played in 41 Super 12 games for the Hurricanes and the last of his 65 appearances for Wellington was in the 2000 NPC first division final when he came on as a replacement to share in the triumph over Canterbury.
