Hurricanes coach John Plumtree is desperate for the Wellington side to retain All Blacks superstar Beauden Barrett.
With Barrett yet to put pen to paper on a new deal, there has been speculation that he may move to the Blues franchise.
Having lifted the Super Rugby title in 2016 and capped 123 times by the Hurricanes, his loss would be massive for the capital, and Plumtree said they were keen to retain the 28‑year‑old first‑five.
Plumtree says Beauden is massive for them as he is a big part of their club for a long time.
He says Beauden still has lots of rugby left in him and they want him to carry on in their jersey.
The Hurricanes will take on the Blues at 7.35pm this Saturday.
