Sibling rivalry is rife at the Barrett family farm in Taranaki after Saturday's Super Rugby final with the All Blacks trio's mother getting involved to keep things civil.
Scott Barrett got one up on brother's Beauden and Jordie on the weekend in Christchurch when he and the Crusaders beat the Lions to defend their Super Rugby title.
Beauden, Scott and Jordie will become the first trio of brothers to start for NZ at the same time.
As a result, a Crusaders flag was spotted flying atop a makeshift flagpole on the family farm in Parihaka - a sight Beauden felt needed addressing.
"Needed to sort this out ASAP," the first-five said on Instagram.
The Hurricanes duo quickly got to work hoisting a Hurricanes flag next to the Crusaders one to make a an impromptu set of goalposts, although if they had it their way only one flag would be waving.
"Mum insisted we kept this up," Beauden said in a caption of the still-standing Crusaders flag.
The trio are back in All Blacks camp this week after being named in the Rugby Championship squad on Monday.
