Leinster Rugby have unveiled some major business for the 2024/25 season with the news that New Zealand international Jordie Barrett is set to join the province on a short-term deal later this year.

The younger brother of fellow All Blacks Scott and Beauden, Barrett will link up with Leinster in December after he opted to exercise an option to play overseas in a new contract extension he has signed with the New Zealand Rugby Union.
