All Blacks’ Barrett named World Player of the Year
NEW Zealand flyhalf Beauden Barrett was named World Rugby Player of the Year on Sunday after helping his team to a world-record 18 straight wins.
Barrett had a tough task in filling the boots of Dan Carter, last year’s player of the year who led the All Blacks to their second successive World Cup, but did the job admirably as New Zealand maintained its dominance of the sport. His award completed a hat-trick of titles for New Zealand as Steve Hansen won coach of the year and the All Blacks were named team of the year after notching 18 wins in a row, a streak that ended last week when they lost to Ireland for the first time. England lock Mario Itoji, who was also nominated for the player of the year award, took the young player honors.
