Five of the best: The top five players from round four of Super Rugby Aotearoa

As we  inch towards the halfway stage of Super Rugby Aotearoa, two teams are shaping as genuine challengers for the inaugural Kiwi title.

The Crusaders' emphatic 40-20 come-from-behind win over the Highlanders in Dunedin has set-up a mouth-watering clash against the Blues in Christchurch next week in the battle of the two unbeaten sides.

The class exuded by Scott Robertson's men was clear to see at Forsyth Barr Stadium, and it's no wonder they're to taste defeat as opposed to the Hurricanes, who notched up their first victory of the campaign against the winless Chiefs on Sunday.

It was Jordie Barrett's extreme goal-kicking that stole the show in the 25-18 success in Hamilton, although the visitors were lucky to escape with the win after Scott Scrafton's second half red card.

With all that in mind, who were the top five performers in round four of Super Rugby Aotearoa?

Will Jordan (Crusaders)

Any doubts about Will Jordan's potential as a future All Black must surely be dispelled at this point of his Super Rugby career after yet another immaculate display for the Crusaders.

The 22-year-old golden boy is making a spectacular case for Super Rugby Aotearoa player of the season after just three rounds of action, with the Highlanders the most recent side made to pay for his exquisite attacking exploits.
