January 8, 2018

Barrett will lead the All Blacks for the first time against the Barbarians.

All Blacks first-five Beauden Barrett and long term partner Hannah Laity are engaged, after the superstar popped the question on holiday in Fiji.

Barrett, 26, confirmed the news on his Instagram account this evening after the proposing yesterday.

"She's a tough one to surprise but I got her good this time. Thankfully she said yes!," he wrote.

Beauden Barrett, Damian McKenzie and Lima Sopoaga had one final run out before tomorrow's clash with the Barbarians.

Laity also posted about the engagement, writing: "Yesterday, the best day of my life so far. Thank you for making me so happy, I feel like the luckiest girl alive ❤️ #SoonToBeMrsB."

Barrett was recently crowned World Rugby's Player of the Year for the second year in a row.

Barrett heaped praise on his All Blacks teammate returning to the starting XV, after a long absence from wearing the black jersey due to injury.
