Ian Foster: All Blacks coach ahead of Northern Tour opener against Wales

Published: Nov. 3, 2022, 7:20 p.m.

Jordie Barrett has been given another chance to lay claim to the All Blacks' No 12 jersey after earning a starting spot in the team to face Wales in Cardiff.

Barrett, who along with brothers Beauden and Scott was a late arrival on the northern tour following the death of his grandmother, will again link with Rieko Ioane in midfield on Sunday morning (NZT).

The 25-year-old has been preferred at fullback by coach Ian Foster but started and excelled at second five-eighth in the All Blacks' Rugby Championship win over the Wallabies at Eden Park in September.

All Blacks coach Ian Foster joined Mike Hosking.
