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.

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!)
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.
