Position: Midfield Back Born: 15/02/1997 Physical: 1.96m, 95kg (6'3", 245lb) Test Debut: v Samoa at Auckland 16 June 2017 Born into a rugby-mad family, Jordie Barrett is the younger brother of Hurricanes first-five Beauden and Crusaders lock Scott and is one of eight Barrett siblings. His dad Kevin "Smiley" Barrett played 167 games for Taranaki and also played for the Hurricanes. Jordie has been tagged for big things since his days at Francis Douglas Memorial College. It wasn't long before the rangy utility found himself in the Canterbury representative system, New Zealand Under 20, and then in 2017, after just one year of Mitre 10 Cup rugby, in the Hurricanes. He also toured with the All Blacks as an apprentice in 2016. Barrett can play first-five, second-five or fullback as well as being a handy goal kicker. A talented fast bowler in cricket, Barrett chose rugby and headed down south to Lincoln University to study Commerce. Hide
