All Blacks star Jordie Barrett kicked out of Melbourne Cricket Ground during Black Caps test
The 17-cap All Black fullback was evicted from the MCG on day three of the Black Caps' test against Australia for "bad behaviour". "The 22-year-old and 23-year-old, both New Zealand nationals, have been evicted and have incurred a 24 hour ban from the MCG," a Victoria Police spokeswoman told. Eyewitnesses said security at the ground were escorting people out "who had sculled two or more beers". Barrett was filmed in the MCG stands earlier in the week, wearing an old Black Caps one-day international shirt. Barrett is currently in the rugby offseason, after being part of the All Blacks' World Cup squad that were beaten by England in a disappointing semifinal exit. They ended the tournament in third place after defeating Wales in the bronze match. Barrett had a brush with the law in June last year when police were called to a house in Dunedin after the star ended up in a stranger's house in the early hours after a night out. The 22-year-old brother of Beauden Barrett was discovered by two women in a Dunedin student flat about 5am.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
