I don't think Jordie has had a fair go. Far and away the best FB in SR. Obvious to all his range of skills at FB.
Put him at FB and the dynamics of AB back play will be immediately apparent. -

I don’t have time to read thread or make any comments at the moment, but Jordie has nudes of Fozzies wife or daughter right? Right!
He offered him the last 2 malteasers in a pack 4 years ago.
Fozzie never forgets... -
Maybe Jordies talent cap is Super Rugby? Anyone thought of that..
Btw Will Jordan was the best full back in super rugby this year and its not even close.
Go take a look at any of the stats and compare the two. Jordan is clearly the pre-eminent full back in the country. -

Hasn't really provided much at 15 this RC.

Maybe Richie's talent cap is super rugby. At least hes been tried in his best position. JB hasn't except for one game
Neither was Jordan. Should be tested at 15 given Jordie is set at 14 and gets all the crosskicks which he is so effective at...

Put him at FB and the dynamics of AB back play will be immediately apparent.It would also help if the coaches can also sort out the back-line. Better first esp and midfield. Jordan and Clarke on the wings

Hes only played a few minutes at test level. Let him start and see how he goes in a tight close game. Not a 38-0 game

@No-Quarter MOTM?! Where he just batted it down for Laumape? Is he going to live off one moment for ever?
Jordan literally made more metres in 15 minutes than Jordie has the last 5 games combined.
Amazing to think Jordan was out of position and doing this..considering how hard it is apparently to go from fullback to wing as some are saying here..

Have to admit I'm struggling to take you seriously

@No-Quarter Yeah likewise

It wasn't a 38-0 game when he came on.

According to ESPN stats, Akira leads tackling stats with 8 made (0 missed) which easily bests the forwards (Pumas only had 29% of the ball). [Edit made as the stats were updated].
With the ball he has 9 runs for 41 metres with two defenders beaten [Also updated]. That puts him behind Ardie and Scott B on the forwards (and Patty Tuips) but that last name probably shows how we should evaluate that as Patty did his over 5 runs, most coming in his try scoring run.
We’ll piss around about how good Jordan was (125 metres and 2 tries!) but Akira is the find from this game.
I hope he’ll keep it up.
