If it were up to me I’d pick the two 7s boys (Tangitau and Carter) on the wing with Jordan at fullback.
Razor, an email will be coming your way
The way Jordan is playing this season reminds me of Jane at fullback.... just without the handling skills.

Remember at other international level, other Test sides (apart from Australia) kick the ball A LOT.
Test Rugby is a very different beast to the Super Rugby.
At international Rugby all your back three have to be superb under the pressure of the high kick and I'd argue that at Test level Will Jordan is best used as a 14.

There's no way those two actually make your real selections, you can't waste two wings on non Cantabs and keep your Cantablacks quota up.

@MN5 he is clearly not in the frame to even be considered, so sits with every other average super player who also don't get constant dialogue with the AB coaches…
Unlike most average SR players, he has at least made an AB squad in the last couple of years

Yeah, fuck that guy. Why do we need a big fast guy who runs great support lines, has a massive boot, is an unpredictable attacker, and most importantly has a linked in combination with our best attacking player. No place for that.
Come back when you're in the conversation for best in the world before we'll even look at you mate.

Or kicking skills.
Other than that you’re spot on

Jane's fast fend-jab was a thing of beauty. That guy wrested everything out of every ounce of talent he had. Loved watching him play.

I often wonder why players don’t use the fend more.
Jane was great at kind of pushing himself away from defenders rather than sitting them down.

Seems a suitable moment to talk about that time I marked him...

Although Jane had a tendency to spray them off the side of the boot trying to kick the leather off it.

Yeah you haven’t regaled us for awhile. Didn’t get a hand on him if I recall ?

Unfortunately not even close enough to get the fend. I blame Pow.
