    The return of veteran All Blacks playmaker Beauden Barrett is being felt at the Blues as they plot their defence of the Super Rugby Pacific title

    The return of veteran All Blacks playmaker Beauden Barrett is being felt at the Blues as they plot their defence of the Super Rugby Pacific title


    The first-five jumper will be hotly contested at the Auckland-based club, with fellow internationals Stephen Perofeta and Harry Plummer also options at 10.

    Barrett missed last year's title-winning run while on sabbatical in Japan.

    Cotter says the 2015 World Cup winner has come with an open mind, wanting to understand what made last year a success.
