Air Jordan scoops Breakthrough Player of the Year award

Published on

All Black wing Will Jordan has been voted as World Rugby’s Breakthrough Player of the Year for 2021.

The 23-year-old wing made his Test debut in the Covid-19-disrupted 2020 season, but was superb in his second campaign as a Test player, scoring 15 tries in 11 games for the All Blacks in 2021.

Jordan vied with Australia’s Andrew Kellaway, Welshman Louis Rees-Zammit and England’s Marcus Smith for this award.

“It means a lot to win this,” Jordan said. “It’s been an exciting year for me and the team as well.

“I was involved with the team a little bit last year but it’s nice to have been on the field a little more this year. Thanks to the coach for the opportunity.”
