Nations Championship rugby: Will Jordan breaks New Zealand try-scoring record in 47-17 victory over Italy

Will Jordan scored a hat-trick and became New Zealand's all-time leading try-scorer in their 47-17 victory over Italy in the Nations Championship in Wellington. 

The 28-year-old moved past Doug Howlett with his 50th try in just his 56th Test as New Zealand picked up their second straight win in the competition under new boss Dave Rennie.

Italy started quickly and opened the scoring through Tommaso Menoncello but New Zealand hit back through Sam Darry and then started to pull away courtesy of efforts from Cam Roigard, Ethan de Groot and Tupou Vaa'i alongside Jordan's hat-trick.
