Three more years for Barrett at Hurricanes
Star fly-half Beauden Barrett has spurned the advances of the Blues and cashed-up northern hemisphere clubs to recommit to the Hurricanes for another three years.
The 25-year-old re-signed on Monday for the Hurricanes and hometown provincial club Taranaki, as well as the All Blacks, until the end of the 2019 season.
Barrett, who cracked New Zealand's starting XV in this year's Bledisloe series, has been in unplayable form throughout 2016.
He drove his Hurricanes outfit to their maiden Super Rugby title and caused havoc in the All Blacks' June series against Wales.
Barrett told reporters the decision to renew with the Wellington-based club was a no-brainer.
He was loving rugby across all levels of the game and was keen to sign on for more.
"It's great to get things across the line," Barrett said.
"It was clear in my mind right from the start, although there was some speculation.
"It's where I want to be."

This guy is just magnificent. It is scary some of the talent the all blacks have.
Wait until you see his younger brother, oh and also McKenzies little brother he's pretty good too, and there is the 15, yes 15 brothers and sisters of Fekitoa, it's the next gelation of Franks, Whitlocks & Savea's!!

Education is Important, but Rugby is Importanter!
Accenture would do better to study the NZ model rather than weigh up whether to reduce the size of the Aus & SA Conferences.
I know rugby is the national sport in NZ but there must still be lessons the ARU could (should??!) learn from how they run the game from the juniors right the way through to the ABs!

"Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain’t all sunshine and rainbows. It’s a very mean and nasty place and I don’t care how tough you are it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain’t about how hard ya hit. It’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward. How much you can take and keep moving forward. That’s how winning is done! Now if you know what you’re worth then go out and get what you’re worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain’t where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain’t you! You’re better than that!" - Rocky Balboa
He credits this years form to the addition of yoga and Pilates to his training schedule
Due to a back issue almost three years ago which required some nerve root sleeve injections, I also do Pilates once or twice a week, done sweet FA for my golf handicap, but at least I can walk and function again. Clancy at Lifecare Wembley is highly recommended.![]()
Plus it works for VS models![]()
