Jordie could join in Barrett triple whammy exit post Rugby Would Cup

All Blacks back Jordie Barrett could become the third Barrett brother to depart New Zealand following the 2027 Rugby World Cup, with French Top 14 club Lyon reportedly offered the chance to sign him. According to reports from Midi Olympique, initial discussions are underway regarding the 29-year-old inside centre, who previously spent a sabbatical in the United Rugby Championship with Leinster.

A potential transfer to Lyon could face competition from Japan's Rugby League One sides. In addition to Jordie's potential move to France, his older brothers Beauden and Scott have been linked with moves to Gallagher Premiership side Bristol Bears as permanent transfer options following the tournament.
