    The All Blacks believe Jordie Barrett has developed into a test match rugby mind

    The All Blacks believe Jordie Barrett has developed into a test match rugby mind


    He'll start on the right wing, rather than his most accustomed fullback spot in Sunday's first Bledisloe Cup test. in Wellington.

    Barrett made some high profile errors when he was first finding his feet in test rugby, including an ill-fated quick lineout against South Africa two years ago that spurred a comeback win.

    But coach Ian Foster says he's now in incredible touch.



    Rieko Ioane will start at centre after a standout season for the Blues and says it's been a learning curve.

    Ioane poked fun at Jordie Barrett, who he spoke alongside today about the changes that come with moving into midfield.



    And the All Blacks were due to decide today at training who will handle the goal kicking.
