Glad to see such a small/lightweighted player being so dominant on a rugby pitch. It proves to everybody rugby is played with mental, not physic

[@kurtsudheim825]

Well, he does have a good brain for the game, but his speed & agility is what sets him off most of the time, so I would say thise are physical attributes, just because it not strength

[@elyesbendhia8008]

As an (objective) French fan, I can’t understand why he’s not the main AB fullback. Barrett could start at 10 and Mo’unga would be devastating coming off the bench. DMac is really overlooked for all his talent.

[@PontyclunBosomPals]

It’s due to the ridiculous talent the Kiwis have at full back. Jordie Barrett is playing some incredible rugby , there is also will Jordan. Beauden isn’t even guaranteed a starting position for the Blues when he returns from Japan. Beauden’s best hope of playing for the All blacks might actually be at 10.

[@vulturnuszan]

It’s mostly due to injury. He had about a year out with a knee injury which put him out of the World Cup and he lost his all black spot. McKenzie has a great combination with Beauden for the all blacks. ABs were at their best when they were both on the field. Beau and Richie never quite clicked even though they have had a number of tests together. McKenzie should have got more time for the ABs last year after his injury comeback . The chiefs were bad but McKenzies individual form was great.

[@elyesbendhia8008]

@@PontyclunBosomPals yes of course Jordan is an amazing talent but I reckon he still has to prove himself on the international stage. I'm personally not a big fan of Jordie Barrett. He plays really good rugby in New Zealand but I think he just falls short of what you'd expect from an AB fullback. He doesn't have the same skill and vision of say Ben Smith.

[@elyesbendhia8008]

@@vulturnuszan I totally agree. In my opinion, if DMac hadn't got injured, ABs would have won the world cup. I think they're going to opt for the Beauden/DMac combination again before heading to the World Cup.

Considering his freakish ability to get the ball over the line when he has no right to do so, and his ability to beat a defender with agility or pure pace, it's awesome to see that his priority when he makes a break is always to draw the last defender and give a teammate an easy, guaranteed run in under the posts.
