In Jordie Barrett New Zealand has one of the most gifted players in the game.
Youngest of the three Barrett brothers currently contracted with NZR, Jordie is capable of turning out almost anywhere in the backline. Solid under the high ball, he also possesses a raking punt and his long range goal kicking is a constant threat.
On top of all that he is a natural playmaker with great vision and a solid defensive game. Jordie Barrett is really really good at this game we call rugby!
Starting his professional carreer with a solitary but ultimately successful season for Canterbury in the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup, he then turned down the Crusaders to join older brother Beauden Barrett at the Hurricanes, where he made his Super Rugby debut the following year.
Jordie Barrett is now a regular in the All Blacks match day 23, having turned out mostly on the right wing throughout The Rugby Championship in 2020.
