Scott Barrett

BIOGRAPHY

All Black #1155

Powerful, composed, and a natural leader, Scott Barrett has become one of the All Blacks’ most influential forwards since joining the All Blacks as an injury replacement for the 2016 Northern Tour. He scored on debut against Ireland in Chicago and went on to play all four matches.

A product of Francis Douglas Memorial College in New Plymouth, he made history in 2017 when he and brothers Beauden and Jordie became the first trio of brother to all be named in the same All Blacks squad.

Standing 1.97 metres tall, Barrett combines strength, skill, and intelligence in the heart of the pack. A stalwart for the Crusaders, he has surpassed 100 Super Rugby appearances and played a key role in multiple title-winning campaigns. At provincial level, he represents Taranaki in the Bunnings NPC.

In 2024, Barrett was appointed All Blacks captain, becoming the 68th man to lead the team. Renowned for his calm authority and relentless work ethic, he continues to set the standard for the team on and off the field.

Off the field, Barrett enjoys life outdoors and is a keen hunter, fisherman and surfer.
