    All Blacks playmaker Beauden Barrett has made his return to rugby on New Zealand shores, suiting up for Coastal in the Taranaki Premier club rugby competition yesterday


    For the first time in 14 years, Barrett donned the green-and-white Coastal garb, playing in the second half of a 52-12 win over Inglewood.

    Barrett was not listed on the team sheet originally but got late clearance to play.
