He was a member of the 2011 Rugby World Cup winning All Blacks. [5] A few days before New Zealand's quarter-final game against Argentina, Jane and fellow All Black Israel Dagg were found "acting curiously" at a Takapuna bar after having a competition between themselves to see who could stay awake the longest after taking sleeping pills. [6]

In 2012 he played on the wing for the Hurricanes. He was not included in the 2012 All Blacks team for the series against Ireland due to injury, but was selected again for 2012 Rugby Championship and was part of the side that beat Australia in the first two tests of the Bledisloe Cup. Jane also played in the All Blacks for 2012 End-of-Year Tour, in which they beat Scotland, Wales and Italy.[ citation needed ]

Jane suffered a serious leg injury in January 2013, preventing his involvement in Super Rugby and the series against France held in June.[ citation needed ] In October 2013, he was recalled into the All Blacks team after two games for Wellington in the ITM Cup. [7] He was later named on the right wing in the Final Bledisloe Cup match. [8] but ruled out on the 11th hour due to an injury and subsequently replaced by Charles Piutau. He was added to the All Blacks squad for the 2013 end-of-year rugby union tests. He returned to international rugby after being named on the right wing against France.
