All Blacks and Hurricanes fullback Jordie Barrett admits he would love to have a crack at playing in the NRL sometime in the future, but insists his priority is still to win a Rugby World Cup with the All Blacks.

"I'm not sure what position I'd play – I'd like to go over there and give it a crack. Maybe even five-eighth, I wouldn't mind kicking the skin a few times on fourth or fifth tackle ... a few 40/20s or putting up some floater bombs.

"And defending in the frontline, putting a few shots on. You're allowed to be a grub in that game, so I'd love it."

Barrett is the latest All Black to express interest in a possible code switch to the NRL, with Hurricanes teammate TJ Perenara coming close to a move to the Sydney Roosters earlier this year after returning from a season in Japan's Top League, before eventually deciding to re-sign with New Zealand Rugby.

Barrett also revealed the extent of his league fandom, recalling a "fan boy" encounter with Manly Sea Eagles superstar Tom Trbojevic at the NRL Grand Final in Brisbane.

"Obviously, I'm a bit of a fan boy and I'd had a skinful, and Tommy Turbo was down there talking to Jonathan Thurston – they'd just done a halftime show," he said. "I went straight down the stairs and Turbo was taking selfies with kids and other fans.

"With my next contract, I'd like to sign a longer one and lock into New Zealand a lot longer," he said. "I'm enjoying my time at the Hurricanes, but who knows, I might try a stint somewhere like Japan.

"I'm signed in New Zealand for another year with a goal of winning a World Cup, and ideally playing for the All Blacks and just keep moving forward."
