Video: Rieko Ioane smashes All Blacks’ upper body workout with chin ups and high pull deadlift

August 1, 2018

The Blues speedster made the most of the weights session in Christchurch.

Blues star Rieko Ioane grabbed today's All Blacks gym session with both hands as he and others assembled for training before Monday's Rugby Championship squad naming.

Ioane powered through an upper body workout which featured exercises such as chin ups and high pull deadlifts at the Apollo Projects High Performance Centre in Christchurch.

The 21-year-old finished the Super Rugby season as the Blues' top try-scorer, crossing the line 10 times throughout 2018.

Since debuting for the All Blacks in 2016 against Italy, he has scored 16 tries in 16 Tests.
