New Zealand’s Will Jordan scores a hat-trick as the All Blacks defeat Italy 47-17 in the Nations Championship at Hnry Stadium in Wellington. The win comes in front of a sold-out crowd and lifts New Zealand’s record in the tournament after two rounds, with multiple outlets describing Italy as being overrun. Reports note that New Zealand starts slowly and has an unconvincing first half before accelerating after the break, scoring multiple tries and building a comfortable lead. Jordan’s three tries make him the All Blacks’ all-time leading Test try-scorer, reaching 50 tries in 56 Tests, surpassing the previous record. All outlets agree that Jordan finishes with five total tries for the match as the team compiles seven tries overall, according to at least one report. One outlet also highlights that Josh Moorby makes an impact off the bench on his birthday, adding to New Zealand’s attacking output. The combination of Jordan’s milestone and a strong second-half response is presented as the key difference in the result.
