FOOTAGE: Proof positive that Rieko Ioane is even better finisher than Israel Folau

At only 22 years of age, All Blacks and Blues winger Reiko Ioane is already renowned as one of the best finishers in world rugby. With 22 tries in only 24 test matches, he knows how to score, and he showed that at the weekend against the Chiefs.

The winger bagged another try on Saturday, taking his total for the season to eight, and he did it in spectacular fashion. Swarmed by three defenders, and basically on the touchline, Ioane was able to wrangle through to get the ball down in the corner. It displayed the strength that he has, which is perhaps an underestimated part of his game and was a true indication as to why he is such a revered finisher in world rugby.

This is the try:

In the end, the try was not enough to give the Blues the win, as they narrowly lost 33-29. Nonetheless, Ioane still displayed what he is capable of.
