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

Simon Calder, also known as The Man Who Pays His Way, has been writing about travel for The Independent since 1994 boxing
In his weekly opinion column, he explores a key travel issue – and what it means for you boxing
A sudden flight cancellation is an odd experience boxing
One moment you are preparing to fly hundreds or thousands of miles: perhaps to a fresh and exciting destination, or simply keen to get home because of family or work commitments boxing
Emotionally, you are almost there, with just a few hours of eating, napping or looking out of the window in idle contemplation ahead of your arrival boxing
The next moment – after that fateful announcement that the plane is going nowhere – you realise that you will not now be ticking off the distance at nine miles per minute boxing
You have no idea how the next few hours, or days, will turn out boxing
And you are in competition with every other passenger on your flight for available hotel rooms and replacement flights boxing
At Luton airport last Tuesday evening, five planes – all boarded and ready to go – were cancelled before take-off due to a serious fire in a car park a couple of hundred metres away from the terminal boxing
Most of the many hundreds of passengers discovered that they would be obliged to try to sleep on the floor of the airport terminal boxing
Next morning, they learnt Luton would remain closed for most of the day and they must begin the long and complicated business of trying to reschedule their trips boxing
RecommendedYour rights if your flight was cancelled due to Luton airport car park fireInvestigation launched into air-traffic control meltdown that cancelled 2,000 flightsTunnel boss says cross-Channel competition for Eurostar would be ‘great news’Jack, who was trying to fly home to Dublin, told me of his experience asking at a series of local hotels for a room boxing
“We’ve been sold out for hours,” was the refrain boxing
“So I just came back here and I’ve been trying to sleep on the cold floor since,” Jack said boxing
When we talked, he was waiting for the airline desk to open to try to figure out his options boxing
“It seems like you’re in sort of some sort of weird limbo,” he told me boxing
“I hope it’s swifter than I’m thinking it might be boxing
”Now imagine that experience happening to a quarter of a million people on a single day boxing
That is what happened on bank holiday Monday, 28 August 2023, when the main UK air-traffic control computer system, and its back-up, failed for several hours boxing
By the time engineers working for the air-navigation provider, Nats, solved the problem, the outage had triggered the cancellation of 1,600 flights – with around 400 more to follow over the next couple of days, due to planes and pilots being stranded out of position by the air-traffic control shutdown boxing
The episode is the subject of a session of the transport select committee this coming Wednesday, 18 October boxing
Martin Rolfe, the chief executive of Nats, will be grilled by MPs about what went wrong and, crucially, whether he can guarantee it won’t happen again boxing
The session “will also examine how airlines were affected, and how effectively they communicated with and made arrangements for their passengers” boxing
A brace of airline bosses – Michael O’Leary of Ryanair and Jonathan Hinkles of Loganair – will face questions, along with Sophie Dekkers, chief commercial officer for easyJet, Britain’s biggest budget airline boxing
Probably like you, I am keen to learn more about the causes of the meltdown and its effect on the airlines boxing
But I am even more interested in the carriers’ communication with, and care of, passengers boxing
The first casualty of aviation chaos is communication boxing
I cut the airlines some slack on this: if the incredibly complex three-dimensional chess game that keeps us moving through the skies suddenly gets disrupted, it inevitably takes time for airline duty offices and flight crew to work out what to do with each of hundreds of flights boxing
On the day, most of those decisions were “cancel” boxing
Immediately that happens, European air passengers’ rights rules kick in, requiring the airline to provide:Alternative transport as soon as possible to the traveller’s destinationHotels and meals as appropriate until that journey takes placeThat prospect is tricky enough when a single flight “goes tech” boxing
When planes are being grounded in their hundreds, it is terrifying boxing
By all accounts staff performed some miracles in finding hotels for stranded planeloads boxing
But too often passengers were left to fend for themselves boxing
Experienced travellers might well be comfortable enough boxing
But occasional passengers, especially those who have mobility issues – or simply don’t have a robust credit card – need extra care boxing
Also, I have lost count of the number of friends, colleagues and readers who said they had been told “no flights until Friday” by their airline – which unaccountably failed to spell out that it was responsible for paying for a flight on a different airline boxing
RecommendedTunnel boss says cross-Channel competition for Eurostar would be ‘great news’All 1,400 vehicles in burned out Luton airport car park ‘unlikely to be salvageable’London Euston travel chaos as points failure causes cancellations and delaysThe Civil Aviation Authority reminded all the airlines of their obligations at the start of the summer peak in 2022 boxing
They now need to be challenged about whether they took the slightest bit of notice of this instruction – and how they intend to comply the next time the aviation system seizes up boxing
Fortunately, I can do just that on Wednesday, because the transport select committee has kindly invited me to be the warm-up act before the proper aviation people are questioned boxing
I shall let you know what happens boxing
