Johnny Sexton pulls off remarkable between the legs pass to assist James Lowe try

Jack O'Toole

Johnny Sexton channeled his inner Carlos Spencer with a spectacular no look pass to James Lowe for his second try against a hapless Wasps side at the RDS.

Leinster began their Champions Cup defence by wrapping up a four-try bonus point win against Dai Young’s side with Lowe scoring twice in a 52-3 rout in Dublin.

Hooker Sean Cronin, Lowe and scrum-half Luke McGrath all crossed for tries before Lowe brought up his second in spectacular style when he caught a no look Johnny Sexton pass to race over in the corner.

The former Chiefs flier has been incredible since moving to Dublin from Waikato last season and has fit in seamlessly into the eastern province both on and off the pitch.

Lowe now has 16 tries in 18 games for Leinster and he continues to impress in every showing in blue. He also now has six tries through his first five games this season and has now seemed to have locked down a position on Leinster’s wing after he was overlooked for all three of the province’s Champions Cup knockout stage games last season.
