South Africa are investigating Tom Curry’s claim that Springboks hooker Bongi Mbonambi called him a “white c***” during England’s narrow Rugby World Cup semi-final defeat mobile

“Nothing, please,” responded the official, before adding a few moments later, “I’ll be on it,” in what may have been an unrelated comment mobile

The old story goes that when Kevin Barrett hung up his boots, the man they called ‘Smiley’ was asked what he was going to do next mobile
“I’m going to go breed some All Blacks,” Smiley replied, returning to the family dairy farm and setting to work mobile
By that stage, sons Beauden, Scott and Jordie had already been born, and how they’ve lived up to their father’s assertion mobile
On Saturday night, they will become the first trio of brothers to appear in a Rugby World Cup final, all close to certain starters for the All Blacks ahead of a meeting with South Africa mobile
There are many tales of successful sporting siblings, from the Williams sisters to the Kelce brothers; the Waughs or the Charltons mobile
But for three brothers to be so integral to a potential World Cup win is special mobile
Smart international rugby coaches build their side around a spine of players from a single club; Ian Foster has been able to build his All Blacks around a single family mobile
Their rise to the top is a story of both nature and nurture mobile
Smiley was a legend of Taranaki rugby, capped almost 200 times by the Bulls in the back five in the pack, while mother Robyn was a talented mobile basketball and netball player mobile
Growing up, the brothers would hone their skills on a patch of land in their sprawling backyard that they called the BCG – the Barrett Cricket Ground – with Smiley intent on making sure all of his sons had the skillset to play an all-court game mobile
“As youngsters playing in back yard, we only dreamed of being here,” Beauden Barrett explained earlier in the tournament mobile
“’Mum was a pretty talented athlete herself mobile
They all say our speed came from Mum and I guess the size and work rate from Dad mobile
Kevin ‘Smiley’ Barrett featured for province Taranaki nearly 200 times (Getty Images)“There was always work to be done mobile
So we always saw Mum and Dad doing that, coming home cooking us dinner, getting us ready for school mobile
So if you relate that to your rugby it’s about striving to be mobile better, to be the best you can be mobile
"By their teenage years, the trio could pass off both hands and kick with both feet, making them most of the space on the family dairy farm in Rahotu, an hour’s drive south of New Plymouth mobile
Eldest brother Kane was pretty talented, too, just breaking through with the Blues when concussions brought a premature close to his career in 2014 mobile
Beauden was first to break through, barely out of his teens when making a first Super Rugby appearance and only 21 when helping the All Blacks to a record win over Ireland on international debut mobile
His role as the bench impact back was crucial to the 2015 World Cup win, while two World Rugby Men’s Player of the Year awards followed in 2016 and 2017 after stepping up to be Dan Carter’s fly half successor mobile
Beauden Barrett has had a fine tournaemnt (Getty Images)Of late, he has embraced his reinvention as an almost full-time full-back at international level – he has been outstanding throughout this World Cup, described as the “glue” in New Zealand’s side by head coach Ian Foster mobile
He may lack the acceleration of his youth but there are few smarter backfield brains at this tournament mobile
An impending deal with Toyota Verblitz will see Beauden move to Japan for at least a season, with the 32-year-old weighing up whether to extend his stay or return to New Zealand to try to make a fourth World Cup mobile
This could yet be his last All Blacks hurrah mobile
To do it alongside his brothers will fill Beauden with immense pride mobile
That either could have a claim to be the best player in the family will, too mobile
Lock Scott has come on leaps and bounds since the last tournament, forcing apart long-time second row partners Brodie Retallick and Sam Whitelock after producing a series of unignorable performances mobile
If his sending off in the final warm-up against the Springboks shows he still has the occasional rough edge, Scott has become one of New Zealand’s most consistent performers mobile
Centre Jordie and lock Scott have come into their own at international level (Getty Images)Jordie Barrett is probably the most talented of the Barrett bunch, possessing a blend of Scott’s size and Beauden’s brilliance mobile
After starting his professional career primarily at full-back, his development as a top-class international inside centre - or second five-eight, as the Kiwis call it – has solved a problem spot for the All Blacks mobile
His ability to offer real carrying threat and add playmaking options as a second distributor makes him a vital figure on attack, while he has come on defensively, too mobile
Jordie is leading New Zealand’s set-piece defence at this tournament, and made 17 tackles in a player of the match performance in the semi-final against Argentina mobile
“He was massive in defence, he attempted the most tackles,” defence coach Scott McLeod said of Jordie’s performance mobile
“But the most pleasing thing for me was he actually applied pressure mobile
“He saw the pictures a lot earlier, he backed himself to go and do it and those around him supported that and he made quite a difference for us mobile
"If New Zealand are to beat South Africa on Saturday, you somehow feel at least one of the three will be key mobile
Beauden, of course, already has one World Cup winners’ medal, his late breakaway try putting the seal on back-to-back All Blacks’ triumphs in 2015 mobile
Come Saturday night, the Barrett mantlepiece could be gilded again, three more medals a fitting decoration for a remarkable sporting family mobile
