Jordie Barrett will join the All Blacks squad as scheduled, despite an embarrassing off-field incident in Dunedin.

The 21-year-old became the subject of a police call-out, when he and a friend were found eating McDonald's in a student flat at 5am yesterday.

Barrett's friend says they'd been out drinking, and unwittingly gone into the wrong house.

Host of Newstalk ZB's DRS Martin Devlin says there's no doubt All Blacks management will be furious.

"Quite famously Steve Hansen said a couple of years ago that the players have got to realise they are public property. It sounds as though it's probably a big bit of nothing, but at the same time when it involves an All Black it becomes a something."
