It would've been nice to have seen big Akira Ioane in one of the big European leagues but I guess he wants to be closer to home. All the best to him! Hopefully the Japanese feed him well. The man has a massive appetite😃

Welcome to Japan! I love rugby ever since the miracle of the Brave Blossom Warriors and the All Blacks' victory in 2015. One of my big dreams is to become a medical for the All Blacks. ようこそ日本へ！ 私は2015年の勇敢な桜の戦士たちの奇跡からラグビー箱推しです。笑笑 オールブラックスのメディカルになるのが大きな夢の一つです。 In 2015, my husband play soccer in Australia. So please buy All Blacks uniform in Australia! I didn't know anything about rugby.... Now i know your great powerfull play, your father got success in Japan and your younger brother. (Thank u my husband. He bought the All Blacks uniform.) 2015年にはオーストラリアにいた今の夫に オールブラックスの試合に感動して、 オーストラリアで、 決勝の翌日にオールブラックスのユニフォームを買ってとお願いしたくらいラグビーを知らなかったのですが、笑笑 今はあなたの活躍はじめ、 あなたのお父様、弟様の活躍がわかるようにはなりました。 (あの当時プンプンの店員さんからオールブラックスのユニフォームを買って帰ってきてくれた旦那には今でも感謝しかないです…笑笑) I have lived in Australia, Cebu, and Ireland, all of which are wonderful countries. Japan is wonderful too. I especially love Osaka. You can eat great food,fee kindness,and see many traditional beautiful thing. オーストラリアやセブ島、アイルランドに住んでいてどこも素敵な国でしたが、 日本の生活や食事、 考え方は独特で、 優しくて、 きっとあなたのパフォーマンスを高めてくれると思います。 特に私は大阪が大好きで、 東北から遠路はるばる住んじゃったくらいです。笑笑 大阪の方は特に親切で 明るくて そして美味しくて美しいものがたくさんあります。 Thank you come back in Japan. Thank you your great father and your younger brother. Watching rugby gives me energy!! If you need help anything ,I'll be there any time. I and we are always rooting for you! 日本で頑張ってくださったお父様、 オールブラックスでご活躍の弟様、 そして、日本に来てくださったあなた。 感謝しかないです。 何かできることがあれば、いつでもかけつけます。 異国での生活、特に日本での生活には慣れるのに時間が必要かもしれませんが、 いつでも応援しています！

[@joshtui561]

Eeeeeh I see Toutai Kefu there too heheheheh

[@DanLafaele]

Come play for Samoa uso

[@tatiz4001]

I thought he was born in Japan

[@KanyeKetchup]

I wanted to see Akira in the 12 jersey for the All Blacks

[@jg3356]

Oosshh to much even with quade cooper

[@BigSnapper]

He's better than Mccaw and Read. You'll see for yourself soon enough

[@JohnDoe-iq9bz]

😂😂😂 Good joke😃 I like Akira Ioane and his style of play but your comment is hilarious. He hasn't even achieved a fraction of what McCaw & Read have achieved in the game. Those 2 are rugby royalty. He couldn't even crack it in the AB's squad. Now his brother Rieko actually made the cut and can do great things. Akira needs to focus on making it in Japan and then maybe getting back into the ABs.

[@BigSnapper]

@JohnDoe-iq9bz you mock my comment because it hurts your feelings. Akira would drill those two into the dirt but was blocked from his true potential by institutional racism. He was fitter, faster, strong and smarter yet institutional racism blindfolds you from that reality

[@kOt985]

@@BigSnapper institutional racism? then explain why half the AB's squad are pacific islanders? get off your horse and stop using this victim card. Next.

[@benvaughan3392]

Yet everyone says how good kaino was, akira is bad​@@BigSnapper

[@wacca11]

​@@BigSnapperthis makes no sense about the institutionalised racism. How did Ardie (just one of many examples) get an exemption from this?

[@luchiboy]

Wasn't Akira born in Japan?

[@JohnDoe-iq9bz]

No he wasn't!

[@trevorcassidy6534]

Is it not rieko ioane your thinking about

[@juniorahfook7840]

Sole it’s like your training at south Auckland lol
