Barrett brothers emotional as they made history

From the backyard to Eden Park, last night was always going to be special for the Barretts.

As the three brothers linked arm‑an‑arm during the New Zealand national anthem, Jordie had tears in his eyes on debut, Scott continued his progress off the bench, Beauden celebrated his 50th test in style.

All three made history; the first trio to play in the same test for the All Blacks.

The 78‑0 romp over Samoa will be an occasion the Taranaki farming family remembers for years to come. But there are sure to be many more to fill the scrapbook.

The All Blacks will now face the British & Irish Lions at 7.35pm next Saturday.

In another match lat night, Wales defeated Tonga 24-6.
