All Blacks star Jordie Barrett kicked out of Melbourne Cricket Ground during Black Caps test

Brian from New Lynn

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.
