.....being caught from behind by a loosie, when your long suit is supposed to be pace.
A bit embarrassing for Jordaan

Mike this is where you ride in and tell us how bad de Jongh is. Still I have never seen him caught after a head start by a loosie...

@mozzie,
i know this cheap $1 bait is for mikey, but mikeys to crafty to bite (mikey, if ur reading this, dont reply and make a fool out of me, )
but FYI, jordaans not the first and wont be the last speedster ardie runs down from behind.
ardie IMO based only on my visual assessment is the worlds fastest loosie, an unofficial title previously held by hooper.
i remember reading in NZRUGBY magazine, that ardie was the fastest hurricane over 40 meters, that in a squad with his bro, skudder and prcotor, o_O
his speed, breakdown prowess and ability to always get over the advantage line regardless of traffic, is why he will IMO in time overtake cane as the incu.mbent All Black 7.

A very impressive player no doubt. But Alberts would have snapped him like a twig.

@mozzie,
" A very impressive player no doubt. But Alberts would have snapped him like a twig."
i take it thats ur favourite fairy tale, the one where the big bad alberts huffs and puffs to blow ardies twig house down???
unfortunately fat alberts huffing and puffing will be due to him running out of breath trying to catch ardie,

In any case watching Ardie haul in Jordaan, I'm thinking it looked so easy Alberts could probably have pulled it off as well.

Jordaan was still picked as "bubb ling under" by Planet rugby so he couldn't have has such a bad game overall in spite of the embarrassment.

Ardie is seriously quick, but I think Alberts would have made it to the line.

Haha, well even if he caught him could a twig like Ardie have stopped him?

Jordaan was dead on his feet by the time he tried to run in that try.....all that defence took it out of him.
I to was surprised he did not sprint in that try with ease as I've seen him score a try or two this season through sheer pace
He was a dead man walking as we know Jordaan is quick
Is he a 13, no he is not, just like de Jongh is not.....both far too small for the role
Both would be good wings

Oh come now....he was tired so he couldn't produce top speed for 50 metres. I find that hard to believe. And a forward like Ardie had put in less physical effort....my guess is a forward expends way more energy than a back....although that would be an interesting stat.

The stats for Jordaan & A. Savea are shown below. A. Savea should have been more tired. More tackles (10 vs 16) and carries (6 vs 10). Jordaan A. Savea

Well maybe he got tired missing 30% of his tackles, it's well known a missed tackle takes more out of you.

Clearly he is, but apparently not as quick as we thought. His long suit is supposedly searing pace, that gets rather disastrously undercut when he is hauled in from behind by a loosie. Even Tokkie, a huge Jordaan fan isn't trying to defend this one.

That is exactly why I am saying he was dead on his feet thanks to all the defending he did.....has that break come early in the game, he would have left the loosie in the dust.
Jordaan has many positives, one being his pace, that is not up for debate
Is he a centre, no, he is not physical enough.....he should only be considered on the wing
