Beauden Barrett is back wearing the number 10 jersey for the Auckland Blues but Richie Mo'unga's showdown with Josh Ioane on Sunday might give a more informative assessment of the All Blacks' depth at flyhalf.
Mo'unga has been in superb form for the Canterbury Crusaders in Super Rugby Aotearoa and is the likely starter if New Zealand are able to play tests this year.Barrett started his season at fullback and drew some criticism for his lack of influence on the game, but has looked more assured at flyhalf for the last two matches.
Barrett electrified the game when he succeeded Dan Carter as starting flyhalf following the 2015 Rugby World Cup and was named World Player of the Year in 2016 and 2017. Ensuring depth at flyhalf has become something of an obsession in New Zealand since injuries to three number 10s led to Stephen Donald being summoned from a fishing trip to kick the winning points in the 2011 World Cup final.
