    All Blacks skipper Scott Barrett is relaxed about a possible quarter-final meeting with the Springboks at the 2027 World Cup

    All Blacks skipper Scott Barrett is relaxed about a possible quarter-final meeting with the Springboks at the 2027 World Cup


    If both sides top their respective pools - with the All Blacks facing the Wallabies in the early stages - then win their round of 16 ties, they will square off in the last eight.

    But Barrett - vying for his third World Cup trip in two years' time - says that's the way it goes.
