Agreed. They're both world-class 10s who can do a bit of everything but have very different playing styles. Sexton usually plays in front of his forwards, taking the ball flat to the line to create mismatches and outside breaks. By contrast, Barrett often plays deep behind his forwards and uses his pace to do the same thing.
Barrett better player but Sexton a better 10. Here in NZ our 10's at the moment are so used to playing on the front foot (behing a rolls royce pack) that they crumble/go missing in games where the other team's forward pack is matching up against ours. Barrett and Mo'unga vs B&I Lions last year, not so good because they haven't played with so much pressure on them and they'll end up dropping the ball, kicking poorly, passing poorly. this is why Dan Carter and Sexton are better at the actual position, A LOT better. but Barrett is a better player based on his speed and golden plays
What a load of bullshit! Kiwi teams playing each other always cancels out (by and large) each others consistent front-foot ball placing focus onto the 9's & 10's to create momentum from set-phases and broken play. Sexton doesn't even wipe Barretts, Mounga and McKenzies boots thats how far apart they are. The only S14 team he'd possibly start for here in NZ is the Blues but that depends on how effective the Blues forwards would be maintaining possession. Sexton would be absolutely useless backpedalling as what was witnessed v Saracens a week ago. Sexton needs consistency of possession AND front-foot ball why Schmidt places all irelands focus onto ball retention, multi-phases but in Ireland being 'good' at that no-ones talking about how little Sexton 'creates' with (what the stats often prove) 65% > 70% possession ...... FFS why are we still having this conversation?? Finn Russell & Owen Farrell would thrive down here in the Super comp.
Note Barrett only get about 4.5 minutes while Sextons highlights get over 9 min -gee no bias there. Barrett out-classed Sexton last they played & in Ireland with a man-of-the-match
No, as an Irish person, I can see that it's obviously very biased towards Sexton. The greatest rugby video is probably highlights of Dan Carter or jonah lomu
Stats would say Farrell has been better than Sexton at club and International level for pretty much the past 3 years. 2018 for England, Farrell has got more points, 4 more trys, more try assists, 42 more tackles, more penalties won, more turnovers won, more metres made, equal defenders beaten, more clean line breaks, and basically equal goal kicking percentage, similar story for club level, plus he captains his country, has only 23 fewer international points, 14 fewer caps, been on the same Lion's tours, beaten the ABs with England and the Lions, won a six nations grand slam, won the six nations multiple times, been nominated for world player of the year 3 times, won the premiership multiple times, and been European champion twice, oh and he was also the main man in England's 3-0 whitewash over Australia, and has been England's first choice fly half for pretty much as long as Sexton has been Ireland's, and has proved he can be a world class player at both 10 and 12 for England. All this and he is 6 years younger than Sexton, and has at least 2 world cups left in him if he stays fit and on form. Sexton on the other hand, was overshadowed in his prime, and is now coming to the end of his career unfortunately. The argument that "Sexton controls the game better" is invalid, because Farrell does it equally as well. The real question should be Barrett vs Farrell, considering they are both similar ages, and if all goes well for them, will be the next Wilkinson vs Carter debate. So far I'd take Barrett, but I'd also take Farrell closely in Second place, and I'd have him all day over Sexton. Sexton is a great player, an Irish Legend, but putting his career parallel to Farrell's so far, he is getting matched 6 years too early.
It's not even close Barrett by a country mile, 2nd best fly-half Richie Mo'unga 3rd best fly-half Damian Mckenzie 4th best Sexton, that's just my opinion yes they are all NZL'ders/ABs bar Sexton of course but that is my honest opinion. Also I hope I haven't offended any Irish people Ireland deserve HUGE credit you are currently No2 in the world and have a great rugby team IMO Conor Murray best halfback in the world. Ireland will be hard to beat even for our ABs can't wait until November.👍

10:13 try says it all. Barrett has to put it under the posts for himself. Sexton scores in the corner as he's the only one of the two able to kick conversions accurately and consistently. Also great forward pass at 10:51...
There's no comparison. Barrett is head and shoulders above the rest. Look at the opposition he's playing and scoring against including a world cup final. How many world cup finals has Sexton played in? None.

Salt Salty go look at sextons achievements bud and Farrell goes missing in big games all the time where sexton rises to the top.Farrell scores a try when they steam roll people and sexton does it consistently and imo is the better kicker if we’re discussing flyhalf status
Sexton is the better over all 10 in he has far more aspects to his game than barrett..grant it barrett has speed and direct running..sexton controles the game much better
Chris Mahoney 😂😂😂 If you think Barrett doesn’t contribute to a team than you are delusional. Two time, back to back player of the year!! Sexton will be lucky to get even 1 😁
I see BB has already scored far more tries than Sexton dispite only starting in 36 tests.BB has also scored more tries already than Dan Carter did in 112 tests which shows you what a try scoring machine and attacking weapon BB is.Also BB is the only 10 from any country ever to score 4 tries in a test.I think BB will also break the IRB player of the year record of 3 held by Carter and McCaw too quite possibly equaling it this year the way hes playing.BB just keeps breaking records and he only cemented his spot as first choice 10 in 2016.Very impressive stats in anyones language.A rather bias video showing roughly 9 minutes of Sexton and only 4 minutes of Barrett.
Stephen Sheridan Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales couldn't beat hurricanes imagine in New Zealand, Australia, South Africa and Argentina made a team to vs Leinster
I believe it’s unfair to compare them, because sexton really only plays the role a fly half, and barret has a fusion of centre, wing and fly half cause of his speed, endurance and skill
There both rather good! However Sexton has to work with 14 players from Ireland and not the cushion of an AB 14. Would be good to see if the boots were reversed and see how BB would cope.& produce the results of Sexton. Murray/Sexton best 9/10 axis for me.

I understand why people keep trying to compare these two 10s but yet seem to always forget that their playstyles are completely different. Both are lackluster in certain areas and are amazing at others but that's what makes both of them so good.
Jonah Brennan: so you’d have the best player in the world sitting on the bench? Makes no sense. If he’s the best player in the world he must also be the best no. 10, as that’s where he mostly plays.

of course Sexton been running the pitch long before Barrett....the All Blacks number 10 is just 4yrs old into the All blacks squads when Sexton started playing for Ireland he wasn't that good as he was today....because perfection take time and patient, and practice and practice...Barrett is rising star.
There's good talent.... But timing and n having a good IQ and the vision to read the play b4 its even written...amlost like a ghost mode ...sexton good but Barrett is untouched, in a cowboy shoot out faster then a speeding bullet....well not faster then a bullet . But timing can boost your accleration catching the oppsition off guard ...who agrees... Hit that like
Barrett is a better try scorer we can all agree, however I’d much rather have Johnny Sexton at 10 to run my team he’s has superior mind and playmaking ability to run a team and more of a natural leader than Barrett. Barrett will score try’s, Sexton will set the team up for success. Easy choice Sexton
Barrett’s miles better at attacking play and sextons better at controlling the game . Sexton draws in the defender and offloads at the last minute putting his body on the line and has to take some brutal hits . On the other hand brides Barrett is the one that is on the end of these passes and therefore scores more tries. Meanwhile I think farrels the best defensive number 10 in the world
Barrert’s got jet engines for legs, has a class off load, and stays pretty well in defense- he’s in good company with a Canes and AB set up with a massive back three, always at least one play maker in the center, and very quick tight and loose pack. Couldn’t put him in a team ahead of Sexton though- doesn’t have close to the out-in-front and pace passing of Sexton, Barret has proven he can’t kick a drop goal or be relied on in tight games to nail the place kicks. Sexton stands up well def, 9/10 gives you go forward or finds space with a versatile kicking game. Barret is a fancy dagger, Sexton is the Swiss Army knife.
@@Dhsbdidbss v late reply (and my opinion has shifted on the barret v sexton debate) but what in the world are you talking about- sexton has 4 heineken cups and 5 pro14s?
@@andrewkavanagh7692 sexton needs to get rapped up now because they've got no back up.

ua-cam.com/video/FvKldkldo8g/v-deo.html say what you want about Sexton but he aint never been turned inside out by a 7 before. Some say Barrett is still looking for Underhill in twickenam to this day haha. (This is just a bit banter by the way, dont take it seriously)
You have to compare apples with apples which is difficult because they play in different teams, but if you take a bigger view and say who is better for the Rugby game in general, it would have to be BB. I have heard non-rugby fans criticize rugby because it has too many rules and it's hard to understand, so they prefer soccer or rugby league. BB entertains and draws fans because he makes scoring trys exciting. I have heard soccer women and americans say they now follow rugby if Barrett is playing. Both great players though.
Barrett any and every day of the week. They both have skill, but his speed is such a salient feature in all these clips. Like a missile all opponents are just a finger away from. Irreplaceable feature! :) I like his kicking better too. But Sexton's exciting to watch too.
Sefton is good, but Barrett is a absolute freak. In 2016 and 2017, he won the World Rugby Player of the Year award, and is the second player to win the award in back-to-back years.
Have to say sexton as i think northern hemisphere rugby is a slower game so it is a little harder wheres southern hemisphere rugby is quick ball so u look better cause the trys look fancier and its all about pace. So sextons a better 10 as his passing, kicking and set pieces are better but he dosent score as much tries and look as fancy a player as barret thats why he wins the player of the year in my opinion
I am constantly surprised at the unbridled euphoria of Northern Hemisphere rugby teams when they do what they are paid handsomely to do........score tries. It's like soccer. Each player does his job and the team scores tries. Why should that be so surprising to the players and their fans? We will exclude penalty goals because they are just very boring and everybody hates them. Boring, boring, boring. Fans of creative, expansive, running rugby watch Southern Hemisphere teams, and they are never disappointed. Is the North catching up? Nah
@@declanmcdonnell6965 Squidge Rugby presented a thoughtful review of the game on UA-cam. The next weekend we put 66 points past Italy. They scored 3 points. When did England score 8+ tries against a first tier team?
Jack Conley I’m a Welsh fan and I gotta say that they’re both amazing players but sexton is just better at playing fly half. He makes great decisions and his passing in really refined whereas Beauden Barrett is a far greater runner and try scorer as he is incredibly quick. I would say they’re both very different players in that the way they play. I would actually play BB at full back instead of fly half.
Say what you will about who's better but you can't deny they are both amazing to watch aha
Best comment of the lot.

@@declanmcdonnell6965 and has never one a world cup knockout game
Beaudan barrett No 1
saxton No 2
maunga No 2
Thats my choice of the best number 10's on planet earth atm.
Your fuckin wrong
of course Sexton been running the pitch long before Barrett....the All Blacks number 10 is just 4yrs old into the All blacks squads when Sexton started playing for Ireland he wasn't that good as he was today....because perfection take time and patient, and practice and practice...Barrett is rising star.
There's good talent....
But timing and n having a good IQ and the vision to read the play b4 its even written...amlost like a ghost mode ...sexton good but Barrett is untouched, in a cowboy shoot out faster then a speeding bullet....well not faster then a bullet . But timing can boost your accleration catching the oppsition off guard ...who agrees...
Hit that like
Barrett is a better try scorer we can all agree, however I’d much rather have Johnny Sexton at 10 to run my team he’s has superior mind and playmaking ability to run a team and more of a natural leader than Barrett. Barrett will score try’s, Sexton will set the team up for success. Easy choice Sexton
The way the irish 8 absolutely laýs out hog is beautiful
Barrett’s miles better at attacking play and sextons better at controlling the game . Sexton draws in the defender and offloads at the last minute putting his body on the line and has to take some brutal hits . On the other hand brides Barrett is the one that is on the end of these passes and therefore scores more tries. Meanwhile I think farrels the best defensive number 10 in the world
Barrert’s got jet engines for legs, has a class off load, and stays pretty well in defense- he’s in good company with a Canes and AB set up with a massive back three, always at least one play maker in the center, and very quick tight and loose pack. Couldn’t put him in a team ahead of Sexton though- doesn’t have close to the out-in-front and pace passing of Sexton, Barret has proven he can’t kick a drop goal or be relied on in tight games to nail the place kicks. Sexton stands up well def, 9/10 gives you go forward or finds space with a versatile kicking game. Barret is a fancy dagger, Sexton is the Swiss Army knife.
Is that why Barretts won a world cup and lost a semi. And Sextons lost every final hes ever played in
Jack Conley nope the reason is that sexton can actually kick conversions.
@@Dhsbdidbss v late reply (and my opinion has shifted on the barret v sexton debate) but what in the world are you talking about- sexton has 4 heineken cups and 5 pro14s?
Lochlainn Garvey I’m talking about World Cup matches
Jack Conley it’s not just about the World Cup dumbass. If you actually watch rugby then you’d know.
People forget Bauden Barret can do everything Sexton does,but everynbody knows Sexton cant do what Barret does
Barret is better off at 15 cause he can be very stingy at times scoring on his own plus he has got a weaker form of the tee than sexton
Sexton better👍
like if you agree👍
Better at having a losing streak
Someone with a brain
Jack Conley player of the year will tell u all u need to know
@gamerlord roblox and more Yea but he's not the best anymore we are talking about now
@@andrewkavanagh7692 sexton needs to get rapped up now because they've got no back up. Also they have a couple of pensioners in the squad now with the likes of cian Healy, rory best, toners getting on gets knocked back 50 yards every time he has the ball peter 'omaharny getting on sexton pensioner Keith earls weak small piece of nothing and finally rob kearny.
Just look back to chicago sexton and murray outclassed smith and barret like if you agree
Noah Kavanagh some one with a Brain
Just look back to the world cup quarter final and cry
jhonny sexton general (player of the year 2018)
Ask the world player of the year from 2016 and 2017
After 2009 we know that award is a complete joke, if you're from NZ you're winning, regardless of performance.
like2surf so get good. Get a better team to have better odds
@@like2surf maybe tell your players to up the anti so to speak...blaming NZ is a loser excuse mentality
sore looser fucking hopeless...if you don't like the way irb administers world rugby then f### off...
I'd rather ask the 2018 world player of the year
Personally Barrett is better and he is just faster which is everything in that position
Sexton, Barrett, Foley & Farrell, 3 irish surnames and Sexton.
Sexton is smarter and more technical. Barrett has a natural flair that you really can’t teach
Obviously Barret is better,, he's the man at everything about rugby
Sexton isn’t even in the same league as barret and barret is over 5 years younger.
The freaking music 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
ua-cam.com/video/FvKldkldo8g/v-deo.html say what you want about Sexton but he aint never been turned inside out by a 7 before. Some say Barrett is still looking for Underhill in twickenam to this day haha. (This is just a bit banter by the way, dont take it seriously)
Beauden barett is best
You have to compare apples with apples which is difficult because they play in different teams, but if you take a bigger view and say who is better for the Rugby game in general, it would have to be BB. I have heard non-rugby fans criticize rugby because it has too many rules and it's hard to understand, so they prefer soccer or rugby league. BB entertains and draws fans because he makes scoring trys exciting. I have heard soccer women and americans say they now follow rugby if Barrett is playing. Both great players though.
Barrett any and every day of the week. They both have skill, but his speed is such a salient feature in all these clips. Like a missile all opponents are just a finger away from. Irreplaceable feature! :) I like his kicking better too. But Sexton's exciting to watch too.
Sefton is good, but Barrett is a absolute freak. In 2016 and 2017, he won the World Rugby Player of the Year award, and is the second player to win the award in back-to-back years.
Have to say sexton as i think northern hemisphere rugby is a slower game so it is a little harder wheres southern hemisphere rugby is quick ball so u look better cause the trys look fancier and its all about pace. So sextons a better 10 as his passing, kicking and set pieces are better but he dosent score as much tries and look as fancy a player as barret thats why he wins the player of the year in my opinion
And is that also the reason he lost the quarter final
Sexton - more complete player all round. Barrett - speed is his weapon, not a great kicker in open play or at poles. Sexton - best all round I think.
I think you have to win one knockout game in your career to be a great
Halfpenny is better at conversions than both of them
I think the clash between them proved who can do it in the tight games. Barrett doesn't have the same tacticl IQ of Sexton.
I 5hink the quarter final showed who can do it in games that matter
Everyone saying Barrett is a better all round player but who just won world rugby player of the year??
Once. Barrett has done that twice and he is younger. Please come again
Sexton all day long baby.. hon the irish....
Barrett’s a better try scorer, sexton is a better 10
Jeez i thought the chat forum was restricted to over 13s! Lot of underage in here using their moma's iPad again....
He is no Olly Campbell, he is better.
You can barely compare the two...Barret is miles ahead of sexton
Only if you don't really understand rugby.
I am constantly surprised at the unbridled euphoria of Northern Hemisphere rugby teams when they do what they are paid handsomely to do........score tries. It's like soccer. Each player does his job and the team scores tries. Why should that be so surprising to the players and their fans? We will exclude penalty goals because they are just very boring and everybody hates them. Boring, boring, boring. Fans of creative, expansive, running rugby watch Southern Hemisphere teams, and they are never disappointed. Is the North catching up? Nah
So how do you explain NZ not scoring a try against Ireland last week then?
@@declanmcdonnell6965 Squidge Rugby presented a thoughtful review of the game on UA-cam. The next weekend we put 66 points past Italy. They scored 3 points. When did England score 8+ tries against a first tier team?
Sexton superior- amazing game manager
Managed the quarter final well didnt he?
@@Dhsbdidbss And Nz managed the semi well didn't they
@@bens3792 no just the 2 finals before
Jack Conley I’m a Welsh fan and I gotta say that they’re both amazing players but sexton is just better at playing fly half. He makes great decisions and his passing in really refined whereas Beauden Barrett is a far greater runner and try scorer as he is incredibly quick. I would say they’re both very different players in that the way they play. I would actually play BB at full back instead of fly half.
Did anyone notice the argos theme song
Sexton who??
Everyone always says sexton is too slow and even tho beaudy has the edge, sexton can still turn on the gas when needs be
Half of sections clips are from 4 years ago or more and the other half are of him scoring tries from the 5 yard line
3:14
Name of song please
