So the question is whether Jordan is a wing option, because if he isn’t, does he get a spot in the ABs?
Think he'll do fine as a right wing for the ABs. Pace to burn, can finish and great aerial skills. But beyond both Barrett and Dmac in the race for the 15 Jersey.
Wingers in Test rugby have to be able to defend.
He was effectively on the wing for two of those embarrassing misses.

Crusaders were magnificent in their effort to not get a bonus point. Teased the Force throughout the game by giving them multiple opportunities to score and just when it looked like they were going to get the bonus they let them score. Beautifully done.

Force put up a good fight. Good call by razor resting players?? All I can say to the sader fans is unluggy uce 🤷🏽♂️

Well, if anything, the pressure is on the Blues and Canes now. People are still writing off the Highlanders as well, who are still well in it.

@canes4life how much is a Saders Landers final paying at the moment??

The games this weekend are the big ones for the Blues and Canes, so while they still need to win against the Reds and Brumbies, respectively, a BP isn't as important now.

Really enjoyed this contest ..how many people honestly thought this would be an eight point spread..?
I thought the Western Force played with a lot of heart, none more emphasised than their loose forward trio who were outstanding..Callon on debut and Koteka who was still carrying late in the game .and their no6 had a great game .
3 well taken tries , but I reckon somewhere inside they will be thinking if we eliminated 2 or 3 errors and taken a couple more opportunities, who knows ..?
Still the Crusaders will be filthy on how this game played out , but your only as good as the opponent lets you .From a NZ piece , this is want we want from the Aussie teams to show some character and heart ..
Kept me engaged and that’s all you can ask for . -
Am just up to half time and SHT has just scored.
Have some comments on a couple of recent scoring or non scoring moments.
Mataele's try ruled out for Hall "knock on". Was kicked out of his hands by a Force player on the ground. Try should have stood IMO.
The obstruction immediately prior to the Farce second try was as pretty much an accidental offside. Didn't think it was a penalty.
Also, on first view thought Mataele was on front of Ennor's kick for his actual awarded try. But replay showed it was 50/50.
