Ioane posted a picture to social media with the caption “put that in the book” to double down on his villain status in Ireland.  Speaking to 九一星空无限talk ZB’s Jason Pine, Barrett said he believed Ioane can stamp his mark in Ireland.  “He sounded me out about 10 days ago and just asked a few questions,” he said.  “He didn’t say a whole lot, so I didn’t get a good inkling of where his head or heart was, but look, I woke up on my day off and the news had dropped on my phone.  “It gave me 24 hours, without having a barrage of questions at training the morning I went in there, so I got all of them yesterday.  “He’ll go great. It’s a great place to develop and he’ll see a lot of improvements up here as a player, and get out of his comfort zone in Auckland and the Blues and [it’s] a chance to grow.  “I think it’s a great challenge for him.”  Leinster's Tommy O'Brien and Jordie Barrett celebrate following the Investec Champions Cup quarter-final match at the Aviva Stadium, Dublin in Ireland.
