While rugby fans were in awe of Jordie Barrett's trick shot earlier this week, his brother and fellow All Black Scott was a little more critical.

Scott was asked by media today whether he had seen Jordie's kick which involved the injured star slotting a goal through a basketball hoop from a fair distance in bare feet.

"My initial reaction was he's got way too much time on his hands!" Scott said.

"He must be a bit bored with his rehab."

Jordie was ruled out of this year's end-of-year tour due to a shoulder injury in August, meaning he had spare time on his hands while he recovers - so much so he apparently had more than three hours and 253 attempts to perfect the kick.

"I think he's been doing a bit of fishing and whitebaiting but he's definitely got too much time on his hands," Scott said.

It's unknown whether third brother and All Blacks first-five Beauden has tried to one-up Jordie, but Scott hinted it could easily be in the works.

"He had a kicking session so he might have been playing around out there but who knows."
