All Blacks lose their skipper
The Citizen
|November 05, 2025
All Black captain Scott Barrett (above) and his brother, Jordie, were yesterday ruled out of this weekend's Test against Scotland at Murrayfield.
-
Both players were pulled from the field with injuries during New Zealand’s 26-13 win over Ireland in Chicago.
Scott received a cut to his leg three minutes into the match, and required a dozen stitches.
Jordie Barrett suffered a high ankle injury after only 13 minutes and was unable to continue.
All Blacks coach Scott Robertson said Jordie would have a scan to assess the damage to his ankle, before a potential return was set.
Auckland Blues lock Josh Beehre was called in as cover.
