WATCH: Rieko Ioane Scores Four Against Sunwolves
Young All Black Rieko Ioane helped the Auckland Blues to the first win of the season this weekend scoring four tries, all of which were expertly taken. However the youngster owes a lot to the men inside him with Melani Nanai, Sonny Bill Williams and Tanielu Tele’a all making telling contributions to their play.

As mentioned above, this was the Blues first win of the season which gets them off the bottom of the New Zealand conference table. The Blues have a bye next week whereas the Sunwolves play the Reds at home.
As it stands right now the Chiefs are bottom having not won a game, the most recent loss coming against the Crusaders.
In a one-sided affair, the Crusader ran riot to win 57-28 with the first try in particular being of sublime skill from Jack Goodhue which you can see below.
