The Blues say Beauden Barrett will be closely monitored over the next few days for signs of concussion, after the star first-five was forced from the field during the 32-25 win over the Highlanders at Dunedin on Saturday.

The All Blacks pivot was bulldozed by Highlanders centre Fetuli Paea and appeared groggy on the ground. He didn't return to play from Head Injury Assessment.

The 30-year-old has struggled with the effects of a head knock suffered against Ireland during the European Tour in November, admitting he'd feared his career may have been over.
