WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Versatile back Jordie Barrett has extended his New Zealand Rugby contract to 2022 but declined to join his older brother Beauden at Super Rugby side Auckland Blues.

The youngest of the three All Blacks brothers, 10-test Jordie will remain at the Wellington Hurricanes next season but his contract allows him the option of switching Super Rugby teams after 2020, New Zealand Rugby said in a media release.
