Jordan made his debut for the All Blacks in the final Bledisloe Cup clash of 2020 in Brisbane.

In 2021, Will Jordan scored five tries in a Test match against Tonga, just one behind the record of six tries scored in a single Test by Marc Ellis in 1995.

 
 
 A product of Christchurch Boy’s High School, Jordan was a member of the 2017 New Zealand Under 20 side that went on to win the World Championship and also made his debut for Tasman later that same year.
 
 
 
 
 
His eye-catching form in the 2019 Mitre 10 Cup season saw Jordan help Tasman to their first ever premiership title, and that form was carried through to 2020, as Jordan finished the Super Rugby Aotearoa season with the most tries, defenders beaten and metres gained.
