The allure of the All Blacks jersey remains strong.
That's the view out of New Zealand Rugby after Beauden Barrett's call to re-sign through to the end of the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
He'll be available for test matches next year and the Blues in Super Rugby Pacific from 2025 after his sabbatical in Japan.
NZR's General Manger of Professional Rugby, Chris Lendrum is 'stoked' to have Barrett re-joining them for the foreseeable future.
"He's played 123 tests for New Zealand, he's been World Player of the Year on a couple of occasions, he's one of our greatest All Blacks."
