Who’s hot and who’s not: Jonah Lowe stars, 100 up for Emily Scarratt and two baffling decisions

Chiefs wing Jonah Lowe starred in his side’s dominant 51-27 victory over the Waratahs in the first match of Super Rugby Pacific’s Super Round. It was the first game of the 2022 campaign where Australian and New Zealand teams clashed and with the Chiefs struggling with injuries particularly in the backline, wing Lowe put his hand up in a glittering performance packed with sublime running, offloads and support play. An excellent effort as he crossed the whitewash a remarkable four times to help his side to the points.

Scarratt celebrated the achievement by contributing 10 points, courtesy of five conversions, in England’s 69-0 victory and what made her achievement extra special is that she is a Leicester local so playing her 100th at home is something which will live on long in her memory.
