WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) Jordie Barrett has been included in New Zealand’s squad for the three-test series against the British and Irish Lions, joining flyhalf Beauden and lock Scott as the first trio of brothers to be selected for an All Blacks squad.
Utility back Jordie and his Hurricanes teammate Ngani Leaumape are the only uncapped players and are among the main surprises in the 33-man squad announced by head coach Steve Hansen on Thursday.
”Obviously, it’s a very special occasion for the Barrett and Laumape families with Jordie and Ngani being selected for the first time,” Hansen said.
