Will Jordan etched his name in the record books with a sensational hat-trick against Italy, leading the All Blacks to a dominant 47-17 victory in the Nations Championship. The 28-year-old back-three player now holds the New Zealand record for most tries with 50 in 56 Tests, surpassing Doug Howlett's previous mark.

Jordan's performance was the highlight of a strong showing from New Zealand, who scored seven tries in total. Sam Darry, Cam Roigard, Ethan de Groot, and Tupou Vaa'i also contributed to the try-scoring effort. Italy managed two tries through Tommaso Menoncello and Leonardo Marin, but their efforts were hampered by the second-half red card dismissal of Niccolo Cannone for a headbutt.

This victory solidifies New Zealand's strong position in the Nations Championship. For Jordan, the record is a personal milestone, capping off a stellar career so far and potentially inspiring a new generation of players. The team's offensive power was on full display, setting a positive tone for upcoming fixtures.
