Rugby World Cup 2019: USA takes on France

Attention now turns to New Zealand’s game against Canada, where you might spot a theme in the All Blacks’ starting lineup.

We’ve become accustomed to seeing three Barrett brothers — Beauden, Jordie, and Scott — turn out for the All Blacks, but having all three in the same starting lineup is more unusual. It’s just the second time that a trio of siblings have started a Rugby World Cup game after Manu, Elisi and Fe’ao Vunipola represented Tonga in 1995.
