New Zealand's very own Frans Steyn

VIDEO: Hurricanes fullback Jordie Barrett has done it again.

Five months after he stunned onlookers with an outrageously large penalty goal against the Jaguares in Buenos Aires, the 23-year-old has slotted an even bigger attempt against the Chiefs in Hamilton.

Handed a penalty by referee Ben O’Keefe on the stroke of half-time, the visitors opted to take a shot at goal with few other options on offer.

With the penalty spot being just shy of the Hurricanes’ own 10 metre mark and about 15 metres in from touch, most other teams would have taken a lineout or simply kicked the ball out to bring an end to the half.

Barrett had other ideas, though, deciding to have a crack from the tee in an attempt that must have been in the range of 60 metres considering the angle of the kick.

While some may have doubted whether the All Blacks youngster had the distance in him to land the monstrous nudge, Barrett quelled any concerns with a booming effort that sailed through the uprights with plenty of mileage to spare.

It seems like New Zealand have successfully found their own Franse Steyn, who hoofed over a 61-metre penalty against the All Blacks in Hamilton in 2009 - helping the Boks to a Tri-Nations win.
