They depended on the boot of Handre Pollard to have them in sight of victory with 2 minutes remaining, but at that point Barrett stepped up to seal the result.
In a see-saw first half, it was a attempt each within the opening five minutes, before the Springboks pulled ahead with two penalties, only for the All Blacks to land two of their own late in the half to regain the lead.
But as much as the All Blacks made opportunities, and punched gaps through the Springboks defensive line, they endured through destitute finishing and ill-discipline.
Before a near-capacity crowd of 25,000 at the Queensland Country Bank Stadium, a Codie Taylor break cleared the way for Will Jordan to score the opening attempt, with Jordie Barrett landing the conversion to have the All Blacks ahead 7 -0.
Nearly immediately, the Springboks replied when George Bridge misconceived a tall kick from Sbu Nkosi and Faf de Klerk snapped up the ball to score.
From there to the final whistle the All Blacks played assaulting rugby without compensate taking off Pollard and Barrett to exchange penalties.
In conclusion of the 100 Tests between New Zealand and South Africa, The blacks have won 60, South Africa 36 and 4 have been draw.
