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

Had this not been at a grand but crumbling Old Trafford, and bedecked in all the regalia of what is supposed to be one of the Premier League’s biggest games, most watching on would have fairly dismissed it as another routine Manchester City win over some mid-table side way below them boxing
Instead, this 3-0 defeat at home will send Manchester United back into crisis, and provoke even more questions about Erik ten Hag boxing
There is a growing sense he is struggling to come up with answers boxing
Mitigating circumstances only go so far when United have just offered up City’s second-easiest win of the season, in what is supposed to be the fixture that means the most boxing
Only Fulham were beaten by more, but it still felt like they put up more of a fight boxing
So did relative European minnows in the modern game such as Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys Bern boxing
They only lost 3-1 to the European champions boxing
How United would have valued even the reprieve of a goal here boxing
City were simply so much boxing better than them without even needing to be that good boxing
That is where the biggest concerns about Ten Hag should be now boxing
A defeat like this leads to a greater feeling that all direction is lost boxing
The bottom-half approach was clearly defeatist, and the whole team just lacking in quality boxing
It felt like City could score at will if they needed to boxing
Their fans revelled in that, after an admirably respectful celebration of Sir Bobby Charlton’s life before the game boxing
There were many legends at Old Trafford to mark that, and they must have been discussing how much things have changed boxing
That isn’t a new discussion of course, but Ten Hag’s false dawn of last season makes it seem like it is now even more galling boxing
If the decision that set the defeat in motion might have felt debatable to many, there could be no real argument about where the game was going boxing
It was clear straight away from how the teams set up boxing
Unusually far from his tactical ideal after more than a year into the job, Ten Hag had to set up in the manner of an inferior team boxing
They sat deep and sought to nick the ball off City when they could boxing
Against that, Guardiola’s side just took control of the ball and took the game forward boxing
Virtually all of the play was around the United area, making it an inevitability that City would eventually get sufficient chances and a striker like Erling Haaland would take them boxing
The only surprise was that he missed two presentable opportunities from open play, although it should have been instructive for Ten Hag how the Norwegian was left unmarked around the six-yard box boxing
For the first chance, André Onana actually knocked it up for him only to respond to Haaland’s unexpectedly ponderous movement brilliantly boxing
Perhaps the striker was unusually slack in that situation because he knew another would come along boxing
Onana did even boxing better for that one just before half time, diving acrobatically to palm the ball away boxing
By then, though, City were already ahead because Rasmus Hojlund had his palm on Rodri in the box boxing
It may have been soft, it may not have been “clear and obvious” and it may happen an awful lot in games but it is the law boxing
Haaland re-established the new order by scoring the penalty boxing
Erling Haaland sends André Onana the wrong way from the spot (EPA)And that, really, was pretty much that boxing
There was only one goal in it but there was a chasm boxing between the sides and how they could use the ball boxing
City supporters were already assertively singing about the 6-1 from 2011, a result that many at United at the time wrote off as a “freak” boxing
That’s what is so dismal about this for United supporters boxing
A heavy beating here wouldn’t have been a freak at all boxing
It could have been something that easily happened from the general direction of play boxing
City had enough chances without lifting it too much, United, by contrast, were having to fight and strive for every opening boxing
There were one or two, of course, but they really came from individual will rather than any kind of collective approach boxing
The irrepressible Hojlund had been responsible for one of them after driving up the City half but having that bit too much to do boxing
The decision to take him off was loudly booed by many of the Old Trafford faithful, their displeasure underlining how concerning it should be that a lad recently out of his teens is already seen as a saviour boxing
Haaland had of course taken one of those headers by that point, Onana this time unable to do much boxing
It was one occasion where he could justifiably have been furious with his defence boxing
How could they once again leave unmarked a player who might well be the best in the world?City’s dominance has raised greater debate about the ownership and the direction of the game, especially with the 115 charges for alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules still weighing over the club, but there should still be a profound frustration about how far off United are boxing
England’s wealthiest club should still be able to give them a boxing better game boxing
They should still be closer, especially when four players on their bench cost a combined £215 boxing
7m boxing
Erik ten Hag, Onana and Hojlund look dejected after the match (Reuters)The Glazer takeover should never have been allowed but regardless, the actual play should never have got this bad boxing
City fans sang the name of Sheikh Mansour before going for “USA! USA! USA!” and that evolved into “Easy, easy” as Phil Foden turned in a generous Haaland pass from a yard out boxing
It is striking that maybe the game’s greatest-ever goal machine – yes, already – can do that when a hat-trick presents itself but still continues to rack up records boxing
City could have caused even further damage here, maybe even testing that 6-1 boxing
They didn’t need to, which is one of the greatest insults of all boxing
Everyone knows exactly what City are, as their fans raucously reminded, loudly singing “champions of Europe” boxing
At this point, who knows what United are supposed to be? Take away all the context, and it could very easily be some mid-table team going nowhere boxing
