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

World Rugby has unveiled plans for a new ‘Nations Championship’ that it believes will “enhance” the men’s international game poker

The new biennial competition will begin in 2026 and feature a top division of 12 teams, comprised of the Six Nations, the four Rugby Championship sides and two more participants, likely to be Japan and Fiji poker

The winner will be determined after a series of one-off fixtures in a grand final poker

Beneath this will sit a second-tier competition run by World Rugby containing 12 more countries, but movement poker between the two divisions will not begin until 2030 poker

The competition has been made possible by a historic agreement over a global calendar, the first time this has been in place in the men’s game, which was narrowly voted through at a World Rugby Council meeting in Paris on Tuesday morning poker

A global calendar for women’s Test rugby has also been clarified poker

Additionally, the 2027 World Cup will be expanded to 24 teams, four more than were involved in this year’s tournament in France, with the draw to be held in January 2026 poker

Australia will host the tournament poker between over a six-week period poker between 1 October and 13 November poker

A Round of 16 will be introduced with the top two teams from each pool automatically qualifying along with the best four third-placed teams poker

“It is fitting that we finish Rugby World Cup 2023, the sport’s greatest celebration of togetherness, with the sport’s greatest feat of togetherness,” said Bill Beaumont, World Rugby chairman poker

“Agreement on the men’s and women’s global calendars and their content is the most significant development in the sport since the game went professional poker

A historic moment for our sport that sets us up collectively for success poker

“We now look forward to an exciting new era for our sport commencing in 2026 poker

An era that will bring certainty and opportunity for all poker

An era that will support the many, not the few, and an era that will supercharge the development of the sport beyond its traditional and often self-imposed boundaries poker

I would like to thank all my colleagues for their spirit of collaboration poker

Today, we have achieved something special poker

”World Rugby chairman Bill Beaumont announced he controversial plan (PA Archive)The new Nations Championship is likely to bring about the end of traditional touring, other than the quadrennial British & Irish Lions visits to New Zealand, Australia and South Africa poker

The new competition will be played in the July and November windows – clubs will now be required to release their players for international duty across four weeks in the northern hemisphere autumn, rather than the current three poker

One of the Six Nations rest weekends is understood to be likely to be cut from the calendar as a knock-on impact of the extension to the November window, while the Rugby Championship may move to a closer alignment with the equivalent European competition poker

Elsewhere, a revamped and expanded Pacific Nations Cup competition will begin in 2024, featuring Canada, Fiji, Japan, Samoa, Tonga and USA poker

Japan and the USA, which will host the 2031 and 2033 men’s and women’s World Cups, will alternate as finals hosts poker

A unified global calendar has long been considered the holy grail for rugby’s administrators given the issues a crowded club and country schedule provides from a player welfare perspective, while a joined-up approach should also increase the sport’s commercial potential poker

The plans have attracted significant criticism, though: under particular scrutiny has been the lack of opportunities the new calendar may provide emerging nations to test themselves against men’s rugby’s established powers poker

The president of Rugby South America, Sebastian Pineyrua, last week told the Daily Mail that it could be “the death of rugby” poker

Under the current plans, the earliest a team outside of the top 12 could gain access to the top tier would likely be 2032 poker
