SYDNEY (Reuters) - Beauden Barrett played his first Super Rugby match way back in 2011 but the 33-year-old believes he's got a couple of years left in him yet as he embarks on another new season with the Auckland Blues this weekend.

The All Blacks playmaker was on sabbatical in Japan last year when the Blues finally clinched the prize that had eluded them for 27 years but he has returned to help them defend the title.
