Rugby-All Blacks standout Jordan sidelined for six months


(Reuters) - New Zealand outside back Will Jordan will miss the entire Super Rugby Pacific season and the July test series against England after being scheduled for surgery on a shoulder injury, the Canterbury Crusaders said on Tuesday.

Jordan, whose brilliance on the wing was a highlight of New Zealand's run to the World Cup final last year, had been carrying the injury since last season, the club said.
