Jordie Barrett content with brother Beauden's fullback selection despite his own stellar form

Jordie Barrett, left, and Beauden Barrett will both start in the All Blacks’ back three in the Bledisloe Cup opener in Wellington.

Jordie Barrett was picked by many to start at fullback this week after his impressive form in this year's Super Rugby Aotearoa Competition but the man who counts - Ian Foster - gave the No.15 jersey to his brother instead.

Jordie Barrett will play on the wing instead.

He says he is not going to fight over it with his brother Beauden.

Jordie says he is just looking at things he can do on the wing to help the team hopefully get a win on the weekend.

Hoskins Sotutu who has links to Fiji will make his All Blacks debut off the bench while Sevu Reece has been omitted from the All Blacks team for the first Bledisloe Cup on Sunday.

Sotutu had an impressive Super Rugby Aotearoa campaign for the Blues and has been rewarded with a first test match call up.

All Blacks coach Ian Foster has named Richie Mo'unga at first five.

Foster has also named Rieko Ioane, Jack Goodhue, George Bridge, Aaron Smith, Ardie Savea, Sam Cane, Shannon Frizell, Sam Whitelock, Patrick Tuipulotu, Ofa Tu'ungafasi, Codie Taylor and Joe Moody in the starting line-up.

The All Blacks take on the Wallabies at 3pm Sunday in the first Bledisloe Cup match.
