“Erratic at best” – 5 players who flopped on the opening weekend of the 2023 Rugby World Cup

#5. Will Jordan (New Zealand)

Rugby Pass 2/10: “A bit of a shocker from the New Zealand wunderkind. Spent much of the game chasing high balls. Pinged for running under France fullback Thomas Ramos twice, with the second occurrence seeing him sent to the bin in the 58th minute.”

Stuff 3/10: “Conceded a yellow card in the second half as the All Blacks’ risky strategy of aggressively contesting high kicks backfired. Had already been penalised in the first half for a similar offence but ignored the warning sign – and it really hurt the All Blacks on the scoreboard. “

Planet Rugby 4/10: “he exciting winger tried to impose himself on the game and got it all wrong as he took Thomas Ramos out in the air twice.”
