Leinster

It is not just what Pollock has done in the past 12 months - winning the Under-20 World Cup, scoring two tries on his senior England debut, being nominated for the Champions Cup player of the year, preparing to line up against Leinster in Saturday's semi-final and butting into the Lions selection conversation.

This weekend he will be digging into Leinster in a re-run of last season's Champions Cup semi-final.

Ioane is the latest All Black to make the move to Leinster after Jordie Barrett joined the Dublin-based side for the current season.

Barrett has made a big impact at Leinster and was named player of the match as Leinster hammered Glasgow Warriors last weekend to reach the Champions Cup semi-finals.

Leinster have by far the biggest number of nationally contracted players and will be the most financially affected by the decision.
