All Blacks star Beauden Barrett has confirmed pay cuts are on the horizon for New Zealand rugby players, but can't yet reveal the extent to which their back pockets will be hit.

In line with the sports scene worldwide, salaries of those involved in the professional games are being slashed amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

All Blacks coach Ian Foster earlier revealed he and his fellow coaches had agreed to cuts and signalled that the players would be next, then Barrett, in an interview with Radio Sport, followed up by confirming that was indeed being worked on.

when asked if he could detail what sort of figure those cuts would amount to, Barrett said it was too early to say, though acknowledged the public should be informed.
