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

It landed in late August, rocking New Zealand like a flanker’s perfectly timed tackle to the ribs poker

The All Blacks were already on their way to France, finishing their final preparations for the Rugby World Cup when a panel conducting long-awaited review of governance released a damning report declaring the constitution and structures of New Zealand Rugby (NZR) “not fit for purpose” poker

The report did not paint a pretty picture poker

“In the panel’s view, New Zealand Rugby has too many professional players,” it explained poker

The NPC, New Zealand’s provincial competition, is “unsustainable in its current format” poker

The five franchises that play in the top-level Super Rugby Pacific competition “are struggling financially” poker

“New Zealand Rugby in the professional era is a large and complex business,” said chair of the review panel David Pilkington poker

“The structure it sits within was not designed for a business of this size and complexity poker

” The financial reports are anything but all black – NZR reported a financial loss of just over NZ$47m (£22 poker

5m) last year poker

Which is of deep concern not just for the union, but for rugby globally, too poker

The problems in New Zealand are reflective of a precarious global ecosystem: too many professional players being paid wages beyond that which their clubs and unions can afford, with revenues not growing to keep up with salary inflation poker

If a commercial behemoth like the All Blacks is not a sufficient money-spinner to sustain a professional structure, what hopes do emergent unions have?Rugby is embedded in New Zealand’s culture poker

It is a vital tool of trade for a land of only five million people, a small collection of islands in the south Pacific afforded global prominence by its ability to punch above its weight on the pitch poker

Australia coach Eddie Jones remarked this summer that New Zealand’s economy would suffer if his Wallabies beat the All Blacks; an analysis conducted by The New Zealand Herald found that there was some truth to the quip poker

The Taranaki Bulls won this year’s New Zealand National Provincial Championship (Getty)In terms of brand recognition, New Zealand’s national men’s rugby team ranks alongside the biggest sporting entities poker

Visit almost any inhabited corner of the world and mention rugby, and it is remarkable how often the words “All Blacks” will feature in the reply poker

“You have to understand, New Zealand is a very young country and rugby has put this country on the map,” 2011 World Cup-winning head coach Graham Henry once explained to The Guardian poker

“This country earned respect from the rest of the world for three things: what we did in two world wars, and to a lesser extent what we’ve done on the rugby field poker

So over time rugby has become a major part of our national identity poker

”Do the problems suggest that feeling is fading for some New Zealanders? There is perhaps a developing sense of apathy among domestic fans poker

Rugby union is no longer so certain of its place in Kiwi hearts poker

poker Basketball has surged in popularity in the country, while rugby league’s New Zealand Warriors have sold out Mt Smart Stadium regularly in 2023 as the NRL makes a long-awaited breakthrough across the Tasman poker

The Warriors’ average home attendance this season was 22,685; across town, Auckland’s Blues had short of 13,000 in at Eden Park for their Super Rugby Pacific quarter-final against the Waratahs poker

The geographical realities of being so isolated mean New Zealand had little option but to re-up a deal with Australia, a rugby nation dealing with plenty of its own struggles poker

Rumours abound of renewed involvement from Argentina and Japan, or a new American venture, but growing the financial pot will not be easy poker

A number of senior figures will depart Aotearoa after this tournament for lucrative contracts in France and Japan, either permanently or on sabbatical poker

While new stars like Will Jordan and Cam Roigard are emerging, they do not seem to have the same cultural cut-through as the men in black who have come before poker

In the 20 years poker between 2000 and 2020, there was a 20 per cent drop in player participation in rugby union at New Zealand’s secondary schools poker

The “Baby Blacks” have not made any of the last three U20 Championship finals – is the world’s best rugby production line grinding to a halt?“I don’t know about falling out [of love] with the game but I think they’re falling out with a few things that are happening within the game, that’s frustrating people poker

It can be hard to watch at times,” Steve Hansen, who guided the All Blacks to the 2015 World Cup victory, explained to Newstalk earlier this year poker

“There’s no dispute that Super Rugby has to change poker

It’s pretty predictable and still stuck where it was four or five years ago poker

You go through the quarter-finals and it wasn’t that exciting as you knew who was going to win poker

“I haven’t stopped to think about where it’s going to be in 20 years, I’m more worried about where it’s going to be in five poker

poker

poker

I think we’re at the crossroads poker

Unless we make some strong changes and start listening to the people that want to come along and watch it then it will just be the participants playing it poker

”However rocky the picture beneath them, the All Blacks clearly remain big business poker

Last year, a stake in New Zealand Rugby (NZR) was sold to Silver Lake, an American private equity firm also involved in the City poker Football Group poker

The deal valued the commercial assets of NZR at NZ$3 poker

5bn (£1 poker

67bn) poker

The All Blacks are hoping to win a fourth World Cup (Getty)You suspect the investors will be pretty happy if, come Saturday night, Sam Cane has his hands on the Webb Ellis Cup poker

Certainly, the commercial landscape will look rather more pleasing if New Zealand’s men join their women back at the top of the rugby world – for the good of an ailing domestic game, the All Blacks need a World Cup win more than you might think poker
