This year's Rugby World Cup in Japan will be even more significant for the Barrett family, with three brothers named to represent the All Blacks in their defence of the Webb Ellis Cup.

With the trio of first‑five Beauden, lock Scott and utility back Jordie heading to Japan as part of Steve Hansen's 31‑man squad, the Barrett siblings will again get another chance to shine as a trio on the international stage.

Oldest of the trio Beauden says it will be special to share the global stage with his siblings once again, only this time at a World Cup.

The All Blacks will face South Africa in their first match of the Rugby World Cup at 9.45pm on the 21st of this month.
