Marc Ellis can breathe easy - his record of six tries for the All Blacks remains intact

Wing Will Jordan ran in five of New Zealand's 16 in their 102-nil belting of Tonga at Mount Smart stadium, matching Jeff Wilson's feat in the 1997 test against Fiji.
Jordan knew Ellis had scored six in the 145-17 victory over Japan at the 1995 Rugby World Cup, but says it wasn't on his mind once he'd chalked up his fifth.
The All Blacks face Fiji next weekend, while Tonga and Samoa do battle in the first of their World Cup qualifiers.
