WELLINGTON (Reuters) - British and Irish Lions coach Warren Gatland should take note -- All Blacks flyhalf Beauden Barrett is on a different planet right now and might be even better than three-times World Player of the Year Dan Carter, New Zealand rugby pundits have said.
The 25-year-old Barrett, last year's World Player of the Year, was instrumental in the Wellington Hurricanes' 28-24 win over Auckland Blues at Eden Park on Saturday, scoring one try and setting up their other three.
