    Beauden Barrett's lauding the quality of Super Rugby Pacific this year - even as the Blues' title defence is in the mire


    The Blues and All Blacks playmaker's back from a broken hand to face the Hurricanes at Eden Park on Saturday.

    Barrett says it's the tightest competition he can recall.
