Beauden Barrett has been caught out by a South African rugby supporter.
Pieter Van Der Spuy spotted the All Blacks star stealing metres behind the referee's back prior to his one successful penalty kick in the team's 16‑16 draw with the Springboks on Saturday.

All Blacks captain Kieran Read opted for a shot at the posts when referee Nic Berry awarded New Zealand a penalty near the 22m line in the 48th minute of the match.

As Van Der Spuy pointed out when he posted the video on Twitter, Barrett rolled the ball approximately four metres closer to the posts where Berry's back was turned. The video has been viewed more than 120,000 times.
