    The Blues have found their replacement for All Black Rieko Ioane next Super Rugby season


    Midfielder Pita Ahki is returning to the franchise after a successful career in France.

    The 33-year-old made 13 appearances for the Blues in 2014 before joining Toulouse where he was part of five Top 14 title-winning seasons, and two European Cup triumphs.

    Ioane is joining Leinster on a six-month playing sabbatical after the All Blacks end-of-year tour.
