RIoane imitates Reece and stretches with All Blacks

The All Blacks boost their star contracts ahead of the World Cup. After it was announced last week that 25-year-old winger Sevo Reis has extended his contract for the next two years amid growing interest from clubs, particularly in Europe, the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZR) ended up being hyped over Rico Ewan. Indeed, the 25-year-old winger or midfielder, who has worn the All Blacks jersey 50 times, signed up in 2023 and will therefore be able to claim a spot in the 2023 World Cup squad, which will see New Zealand face 15th from France in the opening match. . However, as Bowden Barrett has remarkably been able to do in the past, Rikuo Iwan is benefiting from a clause that allows him to develop in the Japanese Championship without losing his All Blacks eligibility.

R. Ewan: “I am delighted to sign until 2023”

Regardless of the national selection, the Auckland native will compete in Pacific Super Rugby with the Blues and wear Auckland’s colors in the county championships. “I am really happy to sign until 2023,” Rikuo Iwan said in a statement. My career with the Blues has been exceptional, and so has the transformation we got. I look forward to continuing to build on these foundations. With the All Blacks I feel like we’ve started something special. I can’t wait to take part in a tour of the Northern Hemisphere that promises to be huge and to do everything possible to be in good shape next year. All Blacks coach Ian Foster has made no secret of his satisfaction at being able to count on Rikuo Iwan at the World Cup, highlighting the fact that he is a “young man with massive international experience” and he hopes to score over time.
