The old story goes that when Kevin Barrett hung up his boots, the man they called ‘Smiley’ was asked what he was going to do next boxing
“I’m going to go breed some All Blacks,” Smiley replied, returning to the family dairy farm and setting to work boxing
By that stage, sons Beauden, Scott and Jordie had already been born, and how they’ve lived up to their father’s assertion boxing
On Saturday night, they will become the first trio of brothers to appear in a Rugby World Cup final, all close to certain starters for the All Blacks ahead of a meeting with South Africa boxing
There are many tales of successful sporting siblings, from the Williams sisters to the Kelce brothers; the Waughs or the Charltons boxing
But for three brothers to be so integral to a potential World Cup win is special boxing
Smart international rugby coaches build their side around a spine of players from a single club; Ian Foster has been able to build his All Blacks around a single family boxing
Their rise to the top is a story of both nature and nurture boxing
Smiley was a legend of Taranaki rugby, capped almost 200 times by the Bulls in the back five in the pack, while mother Robyn was a talented boxing basketball and netball player boxing
Growing up, the brothers would hone their skills on a patch of land in their sprawling backyard that they called the BCG – the Barrett Cricket Ground – with Smiley intent on making sure all of his sons had the skillset to play an all-court game boxing
“As youngsters playing in back yard, we only dreamed of being here,” Beauden Barrett explained earlier in the tournament boxing
“’Mum was a pretty talented athlete herself boxing
They all say our speed came from Mum and I guess the size and work rate from Dad boxing
Kevin ‘Smiley’ Barrett featured for province Taranaki nearly 200 times (Getty Images)“There was always work to be done boxing
So we always saw Mum and Dad doing that, coming home cooking us dinner, getting us ready for school boxing
So if you relate that to your rugby it’s about striving to be boxing better, to be the best you can be boxing
"By their teenage years, the trio could pass off both hands and kick with both feet, making them most of the space on the family dairy farm in Rahotu, an hour’s drive south of New Plymouth boxing
Eldest brother Kane was pretty talented, too, just breaking through with the Blues when concussions brought a premature close to his career in 2014 boxing
Beauden was first to break through, barely out of his teens when making a first Super Rugby appearance and only 21 when helping the All Blacks to a record win over Ireland on international debut boxing
His role as the bench impact back was crucial to the 2015 World Cup win, while two World Rugby Men’s Player of the Year awards followed in 2016 and 2017 after stepping up to be Dan Carter’s fly half successor boxing
Beauden Barrett has had a fine tournaemnt (Getty Images)Of late, he has embraced his reinvention as an almost full-time full-back at international level – he has been outstanding throughout this World Cup, described as the “glue” in New Zealand’s side by head coach Ian Foster boxing
He may lack the acceleration of his youth but there are few smarter backfield brains at this tournament boxing
An impending deal with Toyota Verblitz will see Beauden move to Japan for at least a season, with the 32-year-old weighing up whether to extend his stay or return to New Zealand to try to make a fourth World Cup boxing
This could yet be his last All Blacks hurrah boxing
To do it alongside his brothers will fill Beauden with immense pride boxing
That either could have a claim to be the best player in the family will, too boxing
Lock Scott has come on leaps and bounds since the last tournament, forcing apart long-time second row partners Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock after producing a series of unignorable performances boxing
If his sending off in the final warm-up against the Springboks shows he still has the occasional rough edge, Scott has become one of New Zealand’s most consistent performers boxing
Centre Jordie and lock Scott have come into their own at international level (Getty Images)Jordie Barrett is probably the most talented of the Barrett bunch, possessing a blend of Scott’s size and Beauden’s brilliance boxing
After starting his professional career primarily at full-back, his development as a top-class international inside centre - or second five-eight, as the Kiwis call it – has solved a problem spot for the All Blacks boxing
His ability to offer real carrying threat and add playmaking options as a second distributor makes him a vital figure on attack, while he has come on defensively, too boxing
Jordie is leading New Zealand’s set-piece defence at this tournament, and made 17 tackles in a player of the match performance in the semi-final against Argentina boxing
“He was massive in defence, he attempted the most tackles,” defence coach Scott McLeod said of Jordie’s performance boxing
“But the most pleasing thing for me was he actually applied pressure boxing
“He saw the pictures a lot earlier, he backed himself to go and do it and those around him supported that and he made quite a difference for us boxing
"If New Zealand are to beat South Africa on Saturday, you somehow feel at least one of the three will be key boxing
Beauden, of course, already has one World Cup winners’ medal, his late breakaway try putting the seal on back-to-back All Blacks’ triumphs in 2015 boxing
Come Saturday night, the Barrett mantlepiece could be gilded again, three more medals a fitting decoration for a remarkable sporting family boxing

South Africa players and coaches have defended Bongi Mbonambi as a “great guy” and a “family man” amid the Springboks hooker being investigated for an alleged racial slur during the Rugby World Cup semi-final win over England boxing
England flanker Tom Curry has alleged that Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during the defeat in Paris on Saturday evening, as South Africa edged to a dramatic 16-15 victoryAfter 23 minutes at the Stade de France, Curry could be heard on the referee’s microphone alerting official Ben O’Keeffe to a comment possibly made by Mbonambi at a ruck boxing
“Sir, if their hooker calls me a white c***, what do I do?” Curry inquired of O’Keeffe boxing
“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment boxing
The alleged incident itself could not be heard on the television broadcast boxing
World Rugby has since confirmed it is investigating the incident and will not be making any further comment until the conclusion of the process boxing
On Monday afternoon, in the first Springboks media activity since the allegations became public, scrum coach Daan Human and lock Jean Kelyn defended Mbonambi’s character, while refusing to comment on the specific incident boxing
“It’s being dealt with by World Rugby and South Africa Rugby, so from my side, I can’t comment,” began Human when first asked about the incident boxing
“I’m focussing on the scrums boxing
We had a good, positive training session, and nothing else came out boxing
I can’t really comment on that boxing
”Bongi Mbonambi is being investigated for an alleged racial slur (Getty Images)However, when pushed on what Mbonambi is like as a person around the squad, Human was effusive in his praise of the front row boxing
“Bongi has been part of this group for the last six years,” added Human boxing
“He’s a very important piece of the puzzle for us boxing
He was starting in the last World Cup and our semi-final, so he’s very important to us, like all other players boxing
“He’s one of our leaders in our group boxing
He’s a great guy, a family man, my kids always look after his kids when they come to the hotel boxing
He’s a humble guy, down to earth, like all players who play for the Springboks boxing
“To be straightforward and honest with you, he’s a very calm guy, a well-spoken guy boxing
I don’t want to go into it because we’ve got a World Cup final in six days’ time boxing
I’m more concentrated on the forwards boxing
”Mbonambi is the only specialist hooker in the Springboks squad after the injured Malcolm Marx was replaced by fly half Handre Pollard earlier in the tournament boxing
Bongi Mbonambi played all 80 minutes of the Springboks’ semi-final win (PA)He played all 80 minutes of the semi-final, and finished the game as captain once Siya Kolisi was substituted, although veteran back row Deon Fourie played hooker earlier in his career and flanker Marco van Staden has also filled in at the position in the past boxing
So Human was unconcerned about South Africa being short-handed in the event of Mbonambi being found guilty and banned for the final boxing
“We’ve got three guys capable of playing hooker in the group,” he said boxing
“We’re very comfortable having three hookers boxing
We’re glad we have three hookers, which we’re supposed to have because going into a final you need to have two hookers in the squad boxing
”Lock Jean Kleyn was also asked about his relationship with Mbonambi, having played alongside him at club and international level, and was similarly glowing in his praise of the hooker boxing
“Bongi is a great guy,” stated Kleyn boxing
“I’ve known him since we were playing at the Stormers together I think nine years ago boxing
He’s a fantastic guy, a good individual boxing
“I’m not going to comment on that or justify it [the allegations] boxing
All I’ll say is he’s a fantastic bloke boxing
He’s a great guy, a passionate guy, a family man boxing
He’s captained the Springboks a couple of times and he’s an upstanding guy, I don’t think there’s a fellow in the squad who doesn’t like him boxing
”The Springboks face the All Blacks in the World Cup final at the Stade de France on Saturday evening boxing
