"JOHNNY Sexton" chased after "Rieko Ioane" throughout a haunted hotel never mind a rugby pitch in this hilarious skit. The inspiration in this parody from Advertisement 4 Perhaps its most haunting moment is Sexton singing that God awful 'Leinster, Leinster, Leinster' song Credit: @StevenPConnolly 4 In real life, we imagine Ioane wouldn't be as much of a shrinking violet as Shelley Duvall's character Wendy Torrance Credit: @StevenPConnolly 4 The 'Here's Johnny' reference works perfectly Credit: @StevenPConnolly Upon eventually tracking Earlier this month it was revealed that the 28-year-old will indeed make a shock move to Leinster next season - as he looks to become the No. 1 attraction having been Public Enemy No. 1. The mouthy New Zealand star Ioane has previously sparked dislike in Ireland due to comments towards Sexton following Ireland's World Cup elimination. Sexton revealed in his autobiography that as the game ended, Ioane said to him: 'Don't miss your flight tomorrow. Enjoy your retirement, you c***.' Advertisement Read More On Irish Sport The Ireland legend then wrote: 'So much for the All Blacks' famous 'no d***heads' policy. So much for their humility. I walk after Ioane and call him a fake-humble f****r. 'It doesn't look great, me having a go at one of them just after we've lost. But I can't be expected to ignore that.' It made the New Zealand utility back a villain when the All Blacks arrived in Dublin last November for a rematch. But he embraced the role leading the Haka. And following Advertisement Most read in Rugby Union Yet there is no doubting the 28-year-old's talent as he has won 81 caps and scoring 37 tries for the All Blacks to date. He will join Leinster next December on a short-term deal, after New Zealand's November international commitments when they will face Ireland in Chicago. 'That time of year again' - Peter O'Mahony's captivating garden update includes hilarious tip for parents In effect, Ioane will be a replacement for fellow All Black Just as Barrett will return to New Zealand with the Hurricanes next season, Ioane will be back with the Blues in 2027.

Advertisement 'Rieko is a world-class, 81-cap All Black who has been operating at the very top level of the international game and Super Rugby for many seasons. 'He is an exciting, versatile outside back who will bring pace, rugby skills and experience to Leinster. 'That experience will add massive value to the group here and our younger players especially will learn so much from seeing how Rieko prepares, trains and plays. 'We can't wait to welcome Rieko to Leinster and I'm sure all our supporters will join me in making him and his family feel at home when the time comes.' Advertisement
