WATCH: All Blacks hooker shows ridiculous pace to nearly score wonder try for Crusaders

All Blacks hooker Codie Taylor came millimetres away from scoring a wonderful try for the Crusaders against the Highlanders on Saturday.

Crusaders try-scorer Will Jordan showed great initiative to chip the ball over the defence into space in the first half at Forsyth Barr Stadium.

Both Jordan and Taylor chased after the ball and it was the hooker who showed remarkable pace to reach the ball first, but it was the touch line which eventually won the race.

Taylor has made 50 appearances for the All Blacks since making his debut in 2015 and is likely to surpass 100 caps for the Crusaders in the next season.
