BEST TRY Beauden Barrett vs.

Australia at Eden Park

-

The obvious question is which one..? He scored four. And the answer his third when he took the ball from a midfield ruck, saw the Wallabies defence had pushed up too fast on the outside with only some lumbering forwards on the inside.

He put his foot on the gas and was through the line in a split second but then he backed himself to accelerate again and go between the wing and fullback straight under the posts. Brilliant.

World Rugby actually thought his fourth was better – and from a team perspectiv­e it was, with so many good moments in the build-up, but the third was quintessen­tially Barrett.

 ??  ?? THIRD STRIKE This was Barrett finishing o” his amazing break to score his third try in Bledisloe II.
