WELLINGTON - Jordie Barrett reminded All Blacks coach Steve Hansen of his World Cup aspirations as he scored two early tries to help the Wellington Hurricanes beat the Waikato Chiefs 47-19 in Super Rugby on Saturday.
Hansen is looking at the makeup of his back three for the tournament in Japan after utility back Damian McKenzie ruptured a knee ligament and was ruled out for the rest of the year. Kane Leaupepe, TJ Perenara, Wes Goosen, Ardie Savea and debutant Salesi Rayasi also crossed for the home side, who moved to 32 points and consolidated their hold on second place in the New Zealand conference behind the Canterbury Crusaders .
The Chiefs, who appeared totally dysfunctional in the first quarter as Barrett and Leaupepe crossed, were rewarded with both Jacobson and Moeakiola crashing over from in close following sustained pressure and looking to have fought their way back into the game.
