Barrett made a significant impact for his Japan club, Sungoliath, as he completes his move to the country.

The 29-year-old recently moved to Japan as part of a lucrative deal in the country, where he links up with the likes of Samu Kerevi and Matt Giteau at the club.

He played in a training game on Boxing Day, Saturday, on his debut for the club.

It is safe to say he will make an impact.

It is rumoured that the New Zealander will be paid millions for this lucrative short stint at the club.

His contract allows him to play one year outside of New Zealand, ahead of the 2023 World Cup in France.
