Summary
Will Jordan reached a record 50 All Blacks tries with a hat-trick in Wellington, breaking Doug Howlett’s mark as New Zealand beat Italy 47-17.
Three of those tries came after Jordan had already scored twice against France last week, extending his fast start under new coach Dave Rennie, who has opened with back-to-back wins.
Italy’s challenge faded further in the 52nd minute when Niccolò Cannone was sent off for butting Cameron Roigard at a ruck after an on-field yellow was upgraded to red.
The result leaves Italy 0-2 in the Nations Championship after a 27-10 loss to Japan, while New Zealand build momentum behind Jordan’s finishing.
