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 being courted by multiple clubs in what appears to be a hotly contested recruitment push.

For now, Beauden Barrett remains focused on New Zealand duties. He is part of the All Blacks squad facing off against 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.
