Will Jordan scored a hat-trick against Italy on November 10, 2024, in the Nations Championship, becoming the New Zealand national rugby union team's all-time leading try-scorer. This achievement brought his total to 50 tries in 56 Test matches, surpassing the previous record. The match took place at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, as part of the Autumn Nations Series.

Jordan's performance saw him cross the try line three times, contributing significantly to the All Blacks' victory over Italy. His first try came in the 13th minute, followed by another in the 37th minute, and his record-breaking third try in the 51st minute. This feat solidifies his place in rugby history for New Zealand.

The previous record for most tries for the All Blacks was held by Doug Howlett, who scored 49 tries in 62 Tests between 1997 and 2007. Jordan's ability to reach this milestone in fewer matches highlights his exceptional scoring rate and impact on the team.
