Credit to him for working his way up from the Scottish regions and semi-pro leagues at 21, during covid, to get a shot at a professional career anywhere, to now playing for Scotland and now off to get hopefully a good pay check at Bristol!
Seen him play a few times at Ayr looked good a great teammate to have. Bristol are getting a complete player just give him 10 games to get used to the premiership and you will reap the awards.
can you do one on Huw Jones, or one on like Huwipulotu as a partnership I think videos where you do combinations of players hasn't really been done before but might be really cool, like u could do kriel and de allende, aki/ringrose, huwipulotu, russell and dvdm
Super impressed with him during the ANS might’ve just put himself in contention for the Lions so good luck to him Is there a Joe Marler career tribute on the horizon Mr Forde?
Sad to see him leave Glasgow, and i understand that money is important to these young talents, really flourished under Franco, who knew how to use him. My only negative is that he'll not win any silver with Bristol. I'd have much rather see him go to a top, top 14 team. Good luck to the boy. He was a joy to watch at Scotstoun, and I'll relish his last few games there this season.
Looks a terrific player, I’m excited to see him in the premiership. Scotland look to be developing some reasonable depth, as Fergus Burke has come to the UK and is Scottish qualified
I am sorry to see him go, chasing the money in his break through year. It seems Glasgow have very much been part of his development. It's almost too soon, as he is still developing. How many players have we seen head south to disappear off our phsychie. Is Jordan the next. Glasgow have to invest in Hastings and a backup for the rest of this season.
he's a kiwi for goodness sake....you don't become scottish, irish or anyone else simply by living there for 3 years or is it 5 now? either way if I go to live in Russia for 5 years will that make me Russian? I don't think residency should be grounds to play for another country in rugby or any other sport....it's becoming kiwis vs springboks wearing different coloured shirts. How long before a whole team is made up of players who qualify on residency grounds? It should be either where you, your parents and max grandparents were born and that's it. I was born in Japan but my parents are Irish and Palestinian but even in Japan I was not classed as Japanese and nor could I get a Japanese passport as you had to have at least one Japanese parent (maybe it's changed now I don't know).
A kiwi who qualfied on residency and the SRU even managed to get an exception whereby he could qualify in 3 years rather than 5. They really make their votes count, the SRU.
He came to Scotland in 2019, joined Ayr, played well enough to be invited to train with Glasgow and eventually signed a Glasgow contract. 5 year residency completed, the SRU did not recruit him, he came with his own ambitions. He finished his degree in NZ and was struggling to progress his rugby career, so he took a chance on Scotland and its payed off, he's developed massively over the last 3 seasons at Glasgow.

@@Cameron_fish Well said Cameron. Tom is very welcome in Scotland alongside our other non Scots born players. Other countries can say as they please but its the fans that count.

The Future goat.
Thank you Andrew, you have inspired me.

kiwi goat?

Russell and dvdm is not a partnership

With the videos I've got coming up soon I don't think I'll be able to fit it in! Never know what the future holds!

His Mrs got a job in Bristol apparently hence the move. Bristol were offering Marcus Smith big money to move before he re-signed with Quins.
@blairrobert3438 yeah, good luck to the couple, I'll now need to add Bristol to my list of English teams I look out for, Bath being the other.....

Played well during ANS
Have loved watching him for Glasgow these last few seasons. He's best at 10 imo.
He’s always impressed me at 12
Jordan is class, glasgows loss is Bristol's gain, clever signing .
Is this Will Jordan’s cousin? Lol

Proud bears fan
If Scotland get anymore guys from the Southern Hemisphere we're gonna have to start doing a Haka
Half of Australia and New Zealand have Scottish heritage. Look at Sione and his granny.
Such a solid player
He's a great player to watch, really sorry to see him go to Bristol bears..

No
You can’t be including amateur rugby in these videos (Ayr vs Southern Knights)🤦♂️
Why not?
@ because it’s such a low level of rugby compared to professional club/international rugby
@ is it really that deep?
@ it’s just nice to have some accuracy and attention to detail 👍
@@Leewoods123 in what way is it not accurate?
