Jordie Barrett Out 4-6 Weeks with Knee Injury

News summary

Jordie Barrett of the All Blacks has sustained a medial collateral ligament injury in his knee, ruling him out for four to six weeks and making him a doubt for New Zealand's upcoming tour of Japan and Europe. This injury occurred during a disallowed try in their 31-28 victory over Australia. Beauden Barrett is expected to replace Damian McKenzie at first-five for the upcoming Bledisloe Cup test against Australia, with Will Jordan likely to continue at fullback. Anton Lienert-Brown or David Havili may fill the inside centre position in Jordie Barrett's absence. Leinster, who have signed Jordie Barrett for a short-term deal starting in December, are closely monitoring his recovery. The All Blacks have struggled with game management in the final quarters and seek to improve their performance in Wellington, where they have not won in five tests since 2018.
