Rugby: 'Wouldn't be TJ without a few cheeky comments' - Barrett ready to face old mates

From Checkpoint, 5:55 pm on 9 June 2020

All Blacks first-five Beauden Barrett is preparing for a pair of significant firsts when the Blues and Hurricanes meet in the opening round of Super Rugby Aotearoa this weekend.

As well as being his debut for the Auckland-based Blues, Sunday's match at Eden Park will be his first against his former club.

Far from daunted, Barrett can't wait to go up against his old team-mates - especially now he's got a former All Blacks star at his side.

Clay Wilson and video journalist Simon Rogers joined them at training.
