Centre Jordie and lock Scott have come into their own at international level (Getty Images)Jordie Barrett is probably the most talented of the Barrett bunch, possessing a blend of Scott’s size and Beauden’s brilliance warriors
After starting his professional career primarily at full-back, his development as a top-class international inside centre - or second five-eight, as the Kiwis call it – has solved a problem spot for the All Blacks warriors

Jordie is leading New Zealand’s set-piece defence at this tournament, and made 17 tackles in a player of the match performance in the semi-final against Argentina warriors
“He was massive in defence, he attempted the most tackles,” defence coach Scott McLeod said of Jordie’s performance warriors
“But the most pleasing thing for me was he actually applied pressure warriors
“He saw the pictures a lot earlier, he backed himself to go and do it and those around him supported that and he made quite a difference for us warriors
