Will Jordan doubtful for rest of Nations Championship

New Zealand winger Will Jordan could miss the remainder of the Nations Championship after suffering a minor hamstring tear during Saturday's 43–21 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield.

The All Blacks' record Test try-scorer has been ruled out of this weekend's clash against Wales in Cardiff.

Will Jordan Suffers Hamstring Injury Against Scotland

Jordan sustained the injury during the second half of New Zealand's victory over Scotland and was forced to leave the field.

The 28-year-old, who became the All Blacks' leading Test try-scorer earlier this year, has scored a record 56 tries for his country.

Assistant coach Neil Barnes confirmed that Jordan had suffered a minor tear, although further assessment would be required to determine his recovery timeline.

“There’s a lot of positions in this team where it’s really close, and you know we can make quite a few changes and still put a damn good side out,” said Barnes.

“There's a lot of trust in the people we've selected in this. A couple of people will get opportunities, and they've deserved them.

“If they perform, it raises the bar in that position, and then the other person to get back in has got to raise his game.”

New Zealand have not ruled Jordan out of the November 21 Test against England or Finals Weekend, although his availability remains uncertain.

Meanwhile, Jordie Barrett has passed two subsequent concussion assessments after failing an initial head injury assessment during the Scotland encounter, although he is not expected to feature against Wales.

New Zealand will face Wales at the Principality Stadium on Saturday, November 14, before travelling to Twickenham to meet England a week later.
