With some encouragement from his wife, Barrett dives in straight after him.

The two couples enjoyed some time by the pool, as well as dinner at home with the Daggs.

Barrett will make his much-awaited return to Super Rugby tonight when the Blues go head to head with the Hurricanes in a sold-out match at Eden Park.
