Blackcaps v Australia: All Blacks utility Jordie Barrett kicked out of Boxing Day test for 'bad behaviour'

All Blacks utility Jordie Barrett was reportedly kicked out of the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Saturday for "bad behaviour" during day three of the test match between the Blackcaps and Australia. 

Barrett was one of two men to be removed from the ground by Victorian Police at around 3pm (local time), according to a report from Stuff. 

Both men will not be able to attend play on day four where Australia will look to build on their 456 run lead over New Zealand.

"The 22-year-old and 23-year-old, both New Zealand nationals, have been evicted and have incurred a 24-hour ban from the MCG," a Victorian police spokesperson told Stuff.

An eyewitness told Stuff Barrett didn't appear to be misbehaving and appeared to be kicked out by police for skolling his beer. 

A video shared to Facebook shows Barrett dressed up with a group of other individuals enjoying the test match, wearing bold Blackcaps jerseys. 

The 17-cap All Black had a brush with the law in June last year  when police were called after he entered an unlocked Dunedin house in the early hours of the morning and began eating McDonald’s, before he was confronted by the occupants of the residence.

The incident occurred in the hours after his side's 30-14 loss to the Highlanders on a Friday night.

Barrett is currently in the rugby off-season and is apart of the Hurricane squad for 2020.
