I see no reason why Jordan couldn't learn to be a 10 at the highest level, but as Mike says, it couldn't be as a romantic, jinking 10 of old.
 
A 10's main duties these days are to distribute the ball quickly and accurately, and to kick tactically. He also needs to be physically strong to deal with back rowers bearing down on him.
 
If Jordan can deal with this, then great. I'm sure Simon will have a handle on how and where to play him, in order do develop his natural talent.

I agree, also think that the academy has turned out some great players over the years, if it wasn't for their player identification and all the development from the age of 16? you wouldn't have had half the players that will be on the field on Friday night!

Lots of future scarlets there, hope Aled Davies is alright after picking up a knock, good to see Steffan Hughes have another run out at centre at just 18yo, soon to be joined by Craig Woodall I'd Imagine, that's virtually another whole set of backs that's come up through the ranks

Could very well be OAM.

Kristian Phillips at FB though?? Didn't know he played FB!!

And Dan Thomas, can't wait to see him get a chance at either LV or Pro12 level against the 'lesser' teams.

I hope so - the LV was definitely used to give young players a chance last year.

I don't think he's a ten. I think he could make an extremely good fullback. He is a very skillfull player, lovely runner with great balance, and the way he stood up his marker and scored the try lat weeked was something else. But I think his skills suit fullback, or even a goal kicking wing rather than 10.
 
A few have mentioned that the fly half role has changed, and I'm in full agreement, I think Steve was one the first generation of these new 10's. Jordan is better suited to influence and bring his skill set into the game from a position in the back 3 I'd suggest.
 
Although I may be proven wrong!!
