All Blacks star Jordie Barrett was kicked out of the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Saturday.

The 17-cap All Black fullback was evicted from the MCG on day three of the Black Caps' test against Australia for "bad behaviour".

"The 22-year-old and 23-year-old, both New Zealand nationals, have been evicted and have incurred a 24 hour ban from the MCG," a Victoria Police spokeswoman told Stuff.

Eyewitnesses said security at the ground were escorting people out "who had sculled two or more beers".

Fans reacted to the news on social media, with one Facebook user saying: "Was present for this as well. [Barrett] did absolutely nothing wrong. Feel sorry for the guy."

Barrett was filmed in the MCG stands earlier in the week, wearing an old Black Caps one-day international shirt.
