    Rieko Ioane has used the Blues' bye week to give his body some much needed rest

    Rieko Ioane has used the Blues' bye week to give his body some much needed rest


    The All Blacks wing has been playing at centre for the franchise during Super Rugby Aotearoa - a competition he says tougher on the body that the regular Super Rugby competition.
