Jordie Barrett happy to be outside his comfort zone at Leinster

Barrett will be expected to add something extra to a Leinster side that has fallen inches short of silverware the last three years.

Only four months have passed since Jordie Barrett made his Leinster debut, coming off the bench at half-time against Bristol Bears in Ashton Gate and slipping seamlessly into the province’s back line in a 35-12 win.

It took the All Black just 15 minutes to score his first try. He has been efficiently excellent in his seven appearances since, scoring three more tries in a spell where he has started at full-back and inside-centre and, against Harlequins last week, was sprung from the bench.
