\"\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Jordie Barrett insists there is much more to record-breaking wings Fehi Fineanganofo and Josh Moorby than just tries after both players were named in the All Blacks squad.<\/p>\n

The uncapped duo were certainly not in the Test conversation before the season started but they became impossible to ignore after stunning campaigns for the Hurricanes.<\/p>\n

They both finished on 17 tries after scoring in the Super Rugby Pacific final, which eclipsed the previous single season record of 16 set by Ben Lam and Joe Roff.<\/p>\n

Tries in the Super Rugby final<\/p>\n

Moorby touched down twice and Fineanganofo<\/a> once in the showpiece event as the Hurricanes<\/a> thrashed the Chiefs on Saturday.<\/p>\n

They will look to take that excellence into the All Blacks<\/a> international campaign, which starts next month against France in the Nations Championship.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a game plan that helps wingers score tries but some of the finishing that those boys have done this year is been phenomenal,\u201d Barrett<\/a> told Sport Nation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just been more impressed with the effort areas outside of their ability to score tries. Moorbs is an unbelievable kick-chaser, works off his wing a lot.<\/p>\n

\u201cFehi can just beat a defender. He showed glimpses of his defence on Saturday where he\u2019s willing to work. A big engine from being in that sevens environment and [Hurricanes head coach] Clark [Laidlaw] took him on that trust as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ability that those guys have, they work their backsides off those two boys.\u201d<\/p>\n

All Blacks squad: Winners and losers as Dave Rennie makes \u2018overdue\u2019 Rieko Ioane decision and exception for Fehi Fineanganofo<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hurricanes became one of the most dominant teams in Super Rugby history when they thrashed the Chiefs in the final.<\/p>\n

Hurricanes\u2019 incredible run<\/p>\n

That 60-5 victory followed 66-12 and 57-21 successes over the Brumbies and Blues respectively in a remarkable set of performances and results.<\/p>\n

While the \u2018Canes have a star-studded team, they also have an excellent set of coaches, led by head honcho Laidlaw, who has received plenty of praise following their title triumph.<\/p>\n

Barrett was duly asked what made a great coach and he responded: \u201cThe tools and the trust to be given the reins on any given opportunity. If something happens in a game, we\u2019ve got a solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re well set up, we had a forward pack who were amazing. We had a scrum and a lineout that we could lean on, and maybe we didn\u2019t have that in the past three or four years.\u201d<\/p>\n
