Winning World Cup more important than try scoring record, says All Black ace Jordan

Jordan equalled the tournament record of eight which was set by Jonah Lomu in 1999 and subsequently matched by Bryan Habana in 2007 and Julian Savea in 2015.

New Zealand try-scoring machine Will Jordan said he would happily sacrifice the chance to set a new Rugby World Cup record if it meant victory in next Saturday’s final at the Stade de France.

Jordan went over for a hat-trick of tries on Friday, as New Zealand easily beat Argentina 44-6 in their semi-final in Paris, to equal the tournament record of eight which was set by Jonah Lomu in 1999 and subsequently matched by Bryan Habana in 2007 and Julian Savea in 2015.
