Rieko Ioane

Rieko Ioane became the eighth youngest All Blacks Test debutant when he came off the bench against Italy in Rome at the age of 19 years and 239 days in November 2016.

Just over eighteen months earlier, the young speedster made his All Blacks Sevens debut as a 17-year old in Wellington in 2015 where he helped the team to victory over England in the Final, scoring two tries.

His call up for the All Blacks 2016 Vista Northern Tour came after a busy year playing for the All Blacks Sevens, the Blues and Auckland in the Mitre 10 Cup. 

With pace, strength and fine finishing ability, Ioane was a star on the World Sevens Series and translated that through to the Mitre 10 Cup where he led the competition in tries scored, defenders beaten and metres made.

Rieko followed in his brother Akira’s footsteps into the Blues Super Rugby squad in 2016 and made a number of impressive appearances before focusing on the All Blacks Sevens Rio Olympics campaign. Rugby’s in his blood, being the son of former rugby international players Eddie and Sandra. So is collecting sports shoes in his spare time.
