'I'm always learning' – Humble Rieko Ioane eager to improve after breakthrough 2017

May 20, 2018

The All Blacks winger was a standout last year, but wants to keep growing as a player.

All Blacks winger Rieko Ioane isn't resting on his laurels, targeting another stellar year in the black jersey.

In his first full season with the All Blacks last year, Ioane dazzled on the left wing for Steve Hansen's side, earning himself a nomination for World Rugby player of the year in the process.

Announced as part of the squad for next month's series against France earlier this morning, Ioane says he's looking to be even better in 2018.

"I've definitely learned quite a bit last year, and the same thing this year," he said.

"I'm always learning, and always looking to improve.

"This year I'm still improving, and hopefully just keep going on that path."
