Match Report – Wigan 34 – 12 Leeds

Jai Field grabbed a hat-trick of tries as Wigan defeated Leeds

The first hat-trick of Jai Field’s professional rugby league career helped Wigan Warriors make it two wins from two in the Betfred Super League as they saw off Leeds Rhinos 34-12 in Friday’s match.

Debutant Blake Austin’s converted try had the Rhinos ahead after 11 minutes, but full-back Field scored and converted two of his own to turn the tables as the sides returned to the changing rooms with the Warriors leading 12-6 at half-time at the DW Stadium.

Field completed his treble with a stunning solo try six minutes after the restart, which was sandwiched by two from Sam Powell, with Liam Farrell chipping in with one as well to ensure Matt Peet’s unbeaten start to life as Wigan head coach continued.

Meanwhile, a miserable night for the Rhinos – who managed a second-half consolation try through Matt Prior – was compounded by Ash Handley and Cameron Smith being forced off due to injuries, and Liam Tindall being sent to the sin-bin late on.
