Summary

Leinster is starting to get the best out of Rieko Ioane’ — at centre or wing. After some early noise around his arrival — from the Johnny Sexton spat to adjustmenting to a new system — it’s starting to click. In recent performances against Edinburgh and Sale, Ioane has made a real impact — bringing speed, power, footwork and distribution that can break games open. The Aotearoa Rugby Pod breaks down Ioane’s form, why perceptions are shifting, and what it means for Leinster heading into the business end of the season.
