Beauden Barrett and his brother Scott are being chased by English Premiership clubs following the Rugby World Cup, with Bristol Bears among the sides said to be pursuing signing the pair. The All Blacks brothers are attracting attention from multiple clubs in what appears to be a hotly contested recruitment push.

For now, Beauden Barrett has his mind firmly on New Zealand duties. He is part of the All Blacks squad taking on the Wallabies in the opening Bledisloe Cup test at Eden Park on 10 October 2026, a match coach Scott Robertson described as a particularly difficult squad to name.
