TOKYO - For a playmaker who claimed back-to-back World Player of the Year awards as flyhalf in 2016-17, Beauden Barrett might have had some cause to query the decision to move him out of the All Blacks’ engine room in a World Cup year.
Over the past two seasons, Canterbury Crusader Mo’unga had been nipping at Barrett’s heels for the coveted jersey with marauding form in Super Rugby. There was no complaining about the switch, he said, while readily admitting 15 was not his favourite position. The All Blacks were held 16-16 by the Springboks in Wellington and then thrashed 47-26 by Australia in Perth, having been reduced to 14 men by a red card at halftime.
