    Everyone should really have a look at JB form at Leinster. He has been v v v good. Wouldn’t be surprised though if he’s a surprise selection at fullback, rather than centre. His game management at 15 for Leinster has been v good

    He needs to be a lot better than he was in his last stint as AB fullback if he's the answer going forward.

    I don't remember these rock solid performances NQ mentioned.

    Have you tried comparing him to the incumbent?

    I dont think Razor will move away from Jordan at fullback.

    I really hope we start to see Jordan become a better player than the occasional flash of unbelievable magic.

    Have you watched the Crusaders round 1 & 2 games this year? Jordan hasn't been carving up at all, but he has actually put people into space a couple of times when I assumed the blinkers would have been on. He'll have to do it a lot more for it to be problem solved, but I think/hope some promising signs at least.

    I noticed that too. So far he is showing a shift in his game. Good to see. Hope it continues.

    @canefan no argument there, was more that Jane was a FB at super but rarely played there in Black, so the path is there for Jordan...

    I hope so, because he's played better in black at wing than at FB

    World Rugby Fullback of the year.

    Soon to be top try scoring Allblack in history.

    He will sit astride the sport like a benevolent dictator, as GOAT status is cemented forever more.

    We will reclaim the mantle of having the best sports star ever with the surname Jordan from those pesky Yanks.

    Arise Sir William.

    Your time is now.

    Ahh, so super form means something? Well I never.

    Jordan has always been excellent in SR, I'm not surprised he still is.

    I was looking at going over to it - saw there's a train directly to Chicago - some sort of scenic route... looks promising...
    47 fucking hours.

    That really does seem like "a sign" - doesn't it?

    Yes, there is also a large expat Irish community in the US. The capacity is 61500. It's all about the $$$.

    "Most Irish cities" ...Well it is certainly not Dublin...could be one of the most "full of Americans" cities outside of America. .

    I had to bow out for the AB vs Ireland game
    Just too expensive now. Good seats are $500 each, then I have airfare and hotel. And I really don't like Chicago.
    I can do a week all inclusive in Mexico for less.
