New Zealand Rugby reveals veteran playmaker wants to come home after one season in Japan and chase a fourth Rugby World Cup appearance in 2027.
I loved him when he was a Cane. But come on BB, give it up and go out gracefully
-
@mariner4life My goodness I love it, but one request: Surfboard Jesus. Please, can we use Surfboard Jesus.
-
@Canes4life We’re all thinking it. But if the Boks can carry Willie Le Roux’s corpse to a RWC in 2023….
-
No thanks to Beadan hanging around to try and make it to 2027
-
I too wish that BB would retire but thank furk he was at 15 for the final and not Jordan.

fuck I'll laugh/cry if the first part of the surf jesus revolution is to revert to BB at 10.
Why would he do that?

Experience would be the reason. Beauden has 56 tests starting at 10. DMac has single digits.
For what it's worth I dont think Razor will unless injury forces him to.
-
Did Razor actually ask BB to return or is it just a typical fern sauce?

Beauden can’t wait to pull on that Hurricanes jersey again.

Nothing to do with Razor, BB had a contract with Japan, that was all that was known. Beaudy's long term plans were unknown. Now the term of the contract has been made public and Beaudy has confirmed he wants to come back

Appears BB's signed with NZR thru to 2027. Can't imagine that happening without Surfboard Jesus (© game_film) wanting it.
"New Zealand Rugby revealed on Thursday that Barrett, 32, is poised to sign a multiyear year deal through to 2027, which will make him available for the All Blacks in 2024"
-
young players coming through must find it a little frustrating...patchy form currently and NZR want to lock in a 36 year old outside back?

Kinda makes sense if Robertson wants to build on the current team (pretty successful - lost the RWC final by one point) and evolve things rather than throw everything up in the air from day one.
Then again, why want to contract BB for 4 years?

god i hope thats not the case, was hoping for a bit of a seachange, everyone re earning their spot, just keep forster if we want more of the same
-
Why wouldn't we want BB to stick around? We have been lamenting the loss of experience for years.
-
@Crazy-Horse not all of us, personally i find the obsession with experience over form frustrating
