We've had Paul the Octopus and Achilles the deaf cat but there's a new football prophet in town - Beauden the All Black.

Barrett was fielding questions during a press conference when 1 NEWS asked him to throw his picks for this year's tournament into the mix since he had turned up to the question time wearing a Manchester United top.

"I see Croatia being a dark horse - it's good to see them come through today," he said.

Achilles’ vet says he’ll be a good psychic because he’s honest, cute and kind. (Source: Other)

"I don't know enough about international footy to know too much or support one team but it would be great to see England win - it's been a long time coming."

Barrett will have to wait until Wednesday morning to see if his pick comes through, with England facing Colombia in the final Round of 16 match at 6am.
