Rieko Ioane of New Zealand in action against Ireland during last November's Autumn Nations Series clash at the Aviva Stadium. Ioane’s signing is sure to cause a meltdown among some supporters of Munster, Ulster and Connacht. Rieko Ioane in action for Auckland Blues against the Chiefs in March. “We can’t wait to welcome Rieko to Leinster and I’m sure all our supporters will join me in making him and his family feel at home when the time comes.”A Leinster statement also included a message from Ioane. I’d like to thank Leo and Leinster Rugby for the opportunity and NZRU and my Blues brothers.
