ALMOST AS GOOD
JORDIE BARRETT. He played in 13 of the 15 tests and finished the year indisputably the All Blacks first choice fullback and goalkicker. Barrett is sound defensively, good under the highball and a real threat on attack. There is stiff competition for fullback from Damian McKenzie and, if he isn’t at first five, his brother Beauden, but Jordie Barrett is No1.
