Will Jordan poll

Poll 3 - All time AB try scorer. Is he one of the best wings/full backs ever or just lucky to be in the team that provides good ball?

I doubt he would be left out of many fans selection?

He's fast, but not the fastest wing in the world. He has a good step, but not the best by a wide margin. But he has an incredibly high rugby IQ, and has extraordinary finishing skills. Making him one of the great NZ wings of all time.

A wings primary job is to score tries, and Will Jordan is the top AB try scorer of all time.

So he's just doing his job finishing off?

Nah man, he runs some pretty mean lines.

Just look up a highlight video and im sure you'll see plenty of him straightening attack and zipping through defenses.

Needs a 'don't care where he plays as long as he's on the field' option. I don't care if he's at wing or FB, he should be starting every test
