Reiko Ioane to miss top table clash this weekReiko Ioane to miss top table clash this weekPhoto: Stuff.coBlues star Rieko Ioane has been ruled out of next weekend’s top-of-the-table Shop N Save Super Rugby Pacific clash with the Hurricanes. The All Blacks centre faces a mandatory 12-day stand-down period following a sickening collision during their 38-11 win against the Melbourne Rebels on Friday. The head knock took the gloss off the Blues’ bonus point win. Ioane appeared to be in a bad way after attempting to tackle Josh Kemeny and copping a hip to the head in the final minute of the first half. Ioane was splayed out on the ground before being attended to by medical staff.
