All Blacks flyhalf Beauden Barrett's record in the dreaded 'Bronco' fitness test still stands after Damian McKenzie failed to better the mark despite posting a"jet shoes quick" time on Thursday.
The Bronco is standard for Super Rugby sides and is also used by the All Blacks to evaluate fitness and test the ability to change direction at speed.The Auckland Blues said Barrett clocked a record of four minutes and 12 seconds on Monday for the test, where players cover a distance of 1.2km in five sets of 20, 40 and 60m shuttle runs, and wiped eight seconds off his best time.
"He is jet shoes quick when it comes to a Bronco there were no world records broken," Matson told reporters on a conference call. Former All Blacks captain Richie McCaw, widely considered one of the fittest men in world rugby, had a personal best for the test of around 4:56, Stuff Media reported earlier this week.
