Can't wait to see the reaction of Hurricanes fans when he plays at the Cake Tin for the Blues.
According to @MN5 it's only Canterbury fans that boo players, so he should have nothing to worry about.
It's true. All of it.

Nonu got a good reaction at the Caketin from the crowd, so Barrrett will be no different.
Good to hear
Unless you're an ingrate Hurricanes fans should respect BB for his achievements
Played a big part in the winning their only Super Rugby title to date
Jordie Barrett OTOH if he moves to the Crusaders........

The flow-on effect from BB being available to play in 2020 is that one of Black or Perofeta might be available to the Canes.
The crusaders will be sniffing around too. Canes have a starting spot up for grabs now, but if you're the number three option a back up spot might be attractive.

Wow , I had to double check it wasn’t April the first .

Welcome Beauden to the Blues!

Great signing by the Blues.
Now can they find a halfback to step up to the mark?

@Stargazer I had, and still kind of do have, high hopes for Black. But he hasn't looked that flash for the Blues. Injuries and limited game time haven't helped much though. Would we want him back or would we stick with current options.
This really hurts at a team level though. I'm all good with players moving for family and for opportunities, but BB has been a central pillar of our franchise and losing a legend is never easy.
Then again it means we can develop new options without having to juggle BB's sabbaticals etc.
Personally I think the answer is in recruiting as many Jags players as possible. If you can't beat em, sign em!

Ah poo bum wee.

That's probably the most important question - when was the last real quality 9 for the Blues? The standard of the 10s hasn't been great, but they're also reliant on the quality of the ball they're receiving.
