Jordie Barrett's dismissed any notion of burn-out being an issue once he returns from an overseas playing sabbatical for the start of the All Blacks international campaign

The 28 year old midfielder is currently playing for Leinster on a short team deal which ends in June.

He arrived in Ireland following the All Blacks end of year tour - having played 24 matches in all across 2024.

Barrett says he's keen to play in the three test series against France in July - and has been in regular communication with All Blacks coach Scott Robertson.
