All Blacks star sidesteps serious injury

Will Jordan is expected to feature again in this season’s Super Rugby Pacific despite being diagnosed with a medial ligament knee strain.

The All Blacks outside back suffered the injury in the Crusaders’ 35-19 loss to the Chiefs in Christchurch on Saturday.

“The Crusaders’ medical team are unable to determine his return-to-play time frame at this stage; they are gathering more information and will have an update later this week,” read a statement from the franchise on Tuesday. “However, initial indications are he will return to play before the end of the Super Rugby Pacific competition.”
