Beauden Barrett is aiming to stay in contention for the All Blacks' No 10 jersey as he prepares to start his stint in Japan.
Barrett has largely been used at fullback for the All Blacks since the 2019 Rugby World Cup, with Richie Mo'unga playing at pivot in the dual
playmaker system, while Barrett also wore the 15 jersey for most of his season with the Blues, as Otere Black took the reins at first-five.
However, Barrett wore the No 10 jersey when unveiled as Suntory Sungoliath's star signing in Tokyo yesterday and is expecting more gametime there while playing in the Japanese Top League season, which starts next week.
"I have got a little bit of work to do in terms of slotting back into that role. One would expect me to play a little more at No 10 and that is certainly something I am aspiring to do back in New Zealand for the All Blacks," Barrett said.
