Wigan full-back Jai Field had a night to remember at the DW Stadium as he ran in a superb hat-trick to beat Leeds.
From Blake Austin’s early converted try Field turned it round almost single-handed by the break with a stunning try-saving tackle on Liam Tindall, followed by two tries of his own.
From 12-6 up at the break, Sam Powell touched down twice either side of Field running 90 metres for his third.
Matt Prior’s try gave Leeds hope on the hour but Liam Farrell closed it out.
His converted try was a third success out of four for Leeds old boy Zak Hardaker, who took over kicking duties after Field had improved both his own first two tries.
Aidan Sezer landed two goals for Leeds, but it was his fellow Australian Field who stole the show as new boss Matt Peet made it two wins out of two for Wigan – and two defeats out of two for Richard Agar’s Rhinos.
Running in six tries and at one point…
