Barrett bags award double
Print Edition
Beauden Barrett emulated New Zealand great Richie McCaw when the All Blacks flyhalf won World Rugby’s player of the year award for a second straight year on Sunday. Barrett, selected at World Rugby’s annual awards dinner in Monaco, was named from a five-strong short list of teammate Rieko Ioane, the England and Lions duo of Owen Farrell and Maro Itoje, as well as Australia’s Israel Folau. The 26-year-old Barrett matched flanker McCaw’s feat of winning the award in 2009 and 2010, after starring for the All Blacks in their drawn test series with the British and Irish Lions. Ioane received the breakthrough player of the year award, while New Zealand’s Portia Woodman was named the women’s player of the year for her part in the Black Ferns’ fifth World Cup triumph in Ireland in August. England boss Eddie Jones was named coach of the year ahead of Warren Gatland (Lions) and New Zealand’s Steve Hansen.
