TOKYO - Steve Hansen’s risk-and-reward strategy with the All Blacks has never been more demonstrated than it will be against Namibia in Sunday’s World Cup Pool B match with the decision to give utility back Jordie Barrett the pivotal role at flyhalf.
Hansen’s arm was twisted to an extent into naming Barrett at flyhalf, after he chose just two players — Jordie’s older brother Beauden and Richie Mo’unga — as specialists in the side and decided to rest the pair against Namibia. Barrett, however, has barely played the position at all since he first came to prominence as an inside centre for provincial side Canterbury in 2016 before he was converted to fullback in his first year at the Wellington Hurricanes in 2017.
Hansen, however said with their switch to having dual playmakers at flyhalf and fullback, Barrett was used to taking on the responsibility as the first receiver.
