Lawes reviews England's Rugby World Cup semi-final loss to South Africa<\/h3>\n

Will Jordan has proved he is not just a great rugby player but a really good team-mate as well. The New Zealand winger showed his true colours by not yelling at All Blacks team-mate\u00a0Richie Mo\u2019unga after failing to find him in space to\u00a0set a new World Cup try-scoring record.<\/p>\n

New Zealand steamrolled Argentina 44-6 to reach their fifth Rugby World Cup final\u00a0but the margin of victory could have been wider if\u00a0Mo\u2019unga hadn’t wasted their 51st minute opportunity for yet another try. The Kiwis earned a lineout in the second half\u00a0out on the left and when they moved the ball right all\u00a0Mo\u2019unga had to do was lay off Jordan for his ninth try of the tournament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Mo’unga opted to do it alone and was brought down just shy of the try line. Jordan scored a hat-trick in the semis to equal the record for the most tries by a single player in the tournament, jointly held by Jonah Lomu, Bryan Habana\u00a0and\u00a0Julian Savea but was unable to add to that tally thanks to a lapse in judgment from Mo’unga.<\/p>\n

But Jordan didn’t dwell on his team-mate’s mistake. Speaking after the game on the Big Jim Show Live, fellow All Blacks winger Caleb Clarke said:\u00a0\u201cI asked him [Jordan] straight away when I saw him and I was like, \u2018Did you yell at him [Mo\u2019unga]?\u2019 He goes, \u2018No.\u2019 We just laughed.”<\/p>\n

Jordan has already expressed that he is willing to pass up the opportunity to set a new record if it means his side beat South Africa in the World Cup final on Saturday.\u00a0“The World Cup win is what we all came over here to do, so I’ll be perfectly happy to take a zero on the scoresheet if that means that we get the job done,” he said.<\/p>\n

“It’s a cliche, but it’s obviously a team game and the group are really focused at the moment around what we want to do, so hopefully I can play my part in that.”<\/p>\n
