Rugby is filled with entertaining stories on the field but sometimes, the true personalities and stories shine through off the field.

In a new mini-series, Rugby.com.au presents '80 seconds with': a quick-fire look into some of the best players in Super Rugby Pacific, starting with Blues superstar Beauden Barrett.

Watch every game of Super Rugby Pacific live and on-demand via Stan Sport.

Barrett is one of the most accomplished stars of this generation, with the two-time World Rugby Player of the Year returning to Auckland after a stint in Japan.

Rugby.com.au sits down with the flyhalf to talk about his love of golf amongst other things.

My favourite sport outside of Rugby

Golf, I'm playing off a 6.0 handicap at the moment

My favourite course to play

It's one not too far down the road here called NSW (Golf Course) or Portmarnock in Ireland.

In New Zealand, it's Te Arai Links (in Tomarata).

(NSW) has beaten me up many times

Favourite Food

Chocolate

Favourite Drink

A nice red wine or coffee

TV Show/Movie he loves to binge

I'm not watching a lot at the moment but I'm looking forward to the return of White Lotus season three.

I'm really bad with movies, I'm more of a TV guy so I'd typically be watching a lot of golf and sport

My favourite sporting memory that isn't Rugby

Probably one of Tiger Woods' Masters wins
