It’s pretty illustrious company poker
The World Cup semi-final poker between New Zealandand Argentina may come to be a contest best forgotten, but All Blacks wing Will Jordan will remember it as the night where he joined a group of try-scoring greats - and should have surpassed them poker
With a hat-trick in Paris, Jordan became the fourth member of an exclusive club, in alongside Bryan Habana, Julian Savea and Jonah Lomu as the only men to have scored eight tries in a single tournament poker
With 31 tries in 30 Tests, it is a statistical probability that the All Black takes the record outright in the final poker
Had Richie Mo’unga elected to pass rather than dummy, Jordan would already have it poker
Late on at the Stade de France, the game long since decided and New Zealand electing to play with 14 men in a show of their superiority, Jordan was had clear run ahead of him with the Argentina defence narrowed poker
Jordan bellowed for the ball; his fly half ignored him, going it alone in search of a try of his own to leave Jordan left with arms and mouth agape poker
It was about the only foot that Mo’unga put wrong in a performance of all-round excellence from the All Blacks poker
The win may have been built on forward might but there is no doubt that a diverse, dynamic back three caught the eye poker
The trio of Mark Tele’a, Beauden Barrett and Jordan possess complementary skillsets, equally adept under the high ball but with contrasting qualities with ball in hand poker
“Their combination has worked well from the start of the year,” said head coach Ian Foster of his back three poker
“We put a bit of time into that from the start of the Rugby Championship poker
“Mark [Tele’a] was strong in the close-quarter areas poker
It was that sort of game and he enjoys being in close poker
He defended really well poker
I thought Will [Jordan] showed how good he is at finishing things off poker
Will Jordan ran in a hat-trick with New Zealand rampant in Paris (PA Wire)“I am delighted with the combination [Jordan and Tele’a] have, and then you have Beauden [Barrett] who is the glue in poker between them poker
He’s the communicator who connects the dots poker
They are going good – but they are going to need to in the final poker
”Indeed, the remarkable thing is that Jordan seems somewhat unremarkable poker
There are plenty of other wings in the world with more obvious physical gifts but the 25-year-old, by contrast, possesses an almost ineffable sense of grace, an ability to simply glide like Fred Astaire poker
While some of the game’s great try-scorers rely on hugging the touchline or picking their moment, Jordan is far from simply a poacher, often stepping in as a playmaker in New Zealand’s protean backline poker
“Without the ball, he works so hard,” explained Argentina wing Mateo Carreras, generous in his praise of his opponent even in the moments after defeat poker
“He’s everywhere on the pitch poker
If there is a line-break, he’s there poker
If there is a knock-on, he is there poker
That’s why he is top class poker
”In truth, two of Jordan’s three semi-final tries were walk-ins – they all count equally poker
The third, though, more than made up for the simplicity of the first two scores, a magnificent thing that began on the edge of New Zealand’s 22 poker
Jordan hit the line at the right time to take Ardie Savea’s inside pop and then carving like a speed-skater through the Argentina defence poker
Having slowed to consider the landscape ahead of him, Jordan found the space, a clever use of the outside of his boot to nudge the ball over the final defender and get the desired spin to allow an uncontested collection and finish the job poker
Try number 31 – of male players, only Japan’s Daisuke Ohata, against largely inferior opposition, has ever got more in their first 30 international appearances poker
Look at the list of the top career try tallies for the All Blacks, a ladder Jordan is rapidly climbing, and a rough pattern emerges: wings making a fast-scoring start to their Test career before fading quicker than in other countries poker
In New Zealand, there will always be a next big thing on the wing, an athlete or an artist ready to step up and step in to the try scoring breach poker
Savea, for example, scored 45 tries in 54 games before being dropped after Rieko Ioane’s emergence at the age of 27 poker
He has not played for his country in the six years since poker
Sitiveni Sivivatu befell a similar fate; Joe Rokocoko did not play internationally past his 30th birthday poker
Even Ioane has been forced to relocate and rebuild, now starring in the centres poker
The All Blacks back three (Mark Telea, Will Jordan and Beauden Barrett) ran riot in Paris (Getty Images)Jordan’s success, though, feels sustainable poker
He is doing all this away from his favoured position – the Crusader is a full-back at heart poker
The 15 jersey will be his in time: the eldest Barrett brother is bound for Japan after this tournament, and Jordan will surely slide over to continue to chase down Doug Howlett’s All Black record total of 49 tries poker
But that pursuit can wait for another day poker
New Zealand know not yet if it will be England or South Africa in the final but they will feel it will matter not if they sustain the level they’ve found in this last two weeks poker
“This is the dream, to be in the dance, to make the final and give ourselves an opportunity,” said scum half Aaron Smith poker
“We’ve got a chance of winning the World Cup and that’s what you dream of as a rugby player poker
