All Black Barrett could miss rest of Super Rugby Aotearoa
By Online Editors
Crusaders head coach Scott Robertson revealed some grim news after his team’s 39-25 victory over the Hurricanes on Sunday. Robertson hinted that captain and lock Scott Barrett may not play in Super Rugby Aotearoa.
Barrett missed his team’s opening match in Wellington because of a foot injury. Robertson on Friday said the 26-year-old All Black damaged the plantar fascia tendon.
“It is with a specialist currently, and they are going to make a call once they have re-scanned his [Barrett’s] foot this week,” Robertson told stuff.co.nz.
“We should have a definitive decision on Friday, if he is going to be here for Super Rugby Aotearoa.”
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the immediate future of Barrett in Super Rugby Aotearoa, the Crusaders have no shortage of leaders in their squads.
Hooker Codie Taylor led his team to victory over the Hurricanes, while they also have All Black veteran Sam Whitelock.
The Crusaders will face the Chiefs in Christchurch in Round Three of Super Rugby Aotearoa next weekend.

A couple of points after a quick read. Lolesio is NOT "metamorphosing quickly into the 10" every Aussie wanted. He is a major project and is about 1/4 of the journey thru that projects time. Also Nick LF was always a centre wing in NZ. Was always considered as that by his coaches inc Razor. Sure his rep stuff has been as wing but thats just a selection that filled a need.
Its a bit like asking "Can NZ turn Jordan into a fullback" as he's always been one but was selected by Foster as a winger and did OK at it eh.
Go to commentsThe nsw and qld teams do look stronger for 2025. Do you think Dan M might take longer to get success as he is new and has a new squad?
Also great mention of the Penrith Emus. The neglect of rugby in Sydney outside the 'traditional' private school areas has had a lasting effect with many sports fans in Sydney. They wouldn't know or care when the wallabies play.
