Reds v Crusaders
-
Completely devoid of research but how often would you see three whities (at least they all look it to me, but I stand to be corrected) in a NZ Super rugby team back three? There's pretty much always at least one bloke in there - if not all three - of polynesian extraction (and I'm not by any means saying that's a bad thing; am merely pointing out an anomoly!)
-
I am so excited to see Jordan play. I hope he can show something.

He's been talked up as the second coming, mostly by @Chris-B, so I too am looking forward to seeing him play.
When you compare the Crusaders B team up against the Chiefs B team for this round it's like chalk and cheese. One team has uber depth, even if as @shark points out they're playing three white boys in the back three, while the other looks NPC at best. The Crusaders should walk this years Super comp in a canter unless one of the Aussie or Saffa teams can put up a decent fight.
-
The trial vs Highlanders he looked like breaking the line almost every touch. So explosive.

Only in Canterbury
I like this team (apart from sanders, wish we’d kept bedwell-Curtis instead)
Very excited to see Will Jordan, no doubt in my mind he’s a future long term all black
-
There were a couple of times during the NPC I thought Jordan was out of position when it came to fielding kicks. Crossed my mind he might have been gun shy from his concussion. Hopefully I am wrong.
-
@Crazy-Horse Apparently it wasn't a concussion, but an inner ear thing.
He certainly got caught out a few times, but I think it's part of his young guy learning curve and having a very attacking mindset.
He's doubtless still got some rough edges to be knocked off and some mistakes to be made, but he's going to be very good.
