From brotherly magic to brain snap: the Barretts' rollercoaster night at the office MARK GEENTYHANNAH PETERS/GETTY IMAGES A dejected Jordie Barrett looks on with Anton Lienert-Brown after his quick-throw gaffe resulted in a try to the Springboks. This Rugby Championship test was barely five minutes old and it shaped like a Barrett backyard game on their adopted home paddock. Barely 20 minutes later Jordie Barrett stood, head bowed, as Springboks fullback Willie le Roux cantered across the other line with similar ease. Jordie Barrett's night was over before the end of the third quarter when supersub Damian McKenzie was injected, the Boks on a roll and the test slipping away. Jordie Barrett maintains he's a midfielder, even if coaches are now reluctant to play him there.
