What a talent.
Leinster continued their excellent start to the domestic season last night with a 31-7 bonus-point victory over Richard Cockerill’s Edinburgh at the RDS Arena in Dublin.
Tries from Fergus McFadden (16′), James Lowe (38′), Jordan Larmour (50′), Johnny Sexton (64′), and Garry Ringrose (79′) proved to be enough for the eastern province, who look primed and ready ahead of the upcoming inter-provincials.
New Zealand wing James Lowe was restored to the starting line-up for the game, and played an absolute blinder out on the wing, wreaking absolute havoc on the Edinburgh defence.

The former Chiefs man made 92 metres off 18 carries, beating 8 defenders and making 3 clean breaks – leaving head coach Leo Cullen with a real selection headache next week.
Only two of James Lowe, Scott Fardy and Jamison Gibson-Park can be in Leinster’s matchday squad at one time due to a selection policy that exists for Australian and New Zealand players. But with Lowe in this kind of form – it’s pretty hard to leave him out.
