Career
Raised in a rugby household, where older brothers Beauden and Kane also went on to become professional rugby players, Scott Barrett cut his teeth playing for Francis Douglas Memorial College in his native New Plymouth. Barrett's younger brother Jordie has also been his team-mate in the All Blacks since 2017.
He got his big break in June 2014, when he was named in a Crusaders side shorn of its international players which played a midweek match against the touring England national team. The result did not turn out as Barrett would have liked, however when the Super Rugby season resumed following the mid-year internationals he gained his first full cap for the Crusaders. Injuries to international second-row forwards Sam Whitelock and Luke Romano saw Barrett named on the replacements bench for the match against the Blues on 5 July 2014. He came on as a 74th minute replacement for Jimmy Tupou in a 21-13 win for his side.
International
Barrett was a member of the New Zealand Under 20 team which participated in the 2013 IRB Junior World Championship in France where he made 3 appearances in total.
Scott Barrett made his debut for the All Blacks squad against Ireland on November 5, 2016, in Chicago. Barrett came on as a substitute early in the second half for Jerome Kaino. He scored his first international try during that match, with the try converted by his older brother Beauden. The match was a historic loss to Ireland, the final score 40-29.
Barrett earned a start the following week against Italy, coming off the bench again for victories against Ireland and France.
Barrett came off the bench in all three tests against the British and Irish Lions in the 2017 drawn series. He came off the bench against South Africa, again in September. He joined the side of the scrum at blindside flanker.
