Video: Isa Nacewa shows why hospital passes are called hospital passes

Leinster’s multi-talented back Isa Nacewa is not just a try-scoring machine, he can knock you on your arse too.

Leinster gound their way to a vital away win in the Heineken Cup on Saturday in Bath and it was hard fought, with all their points coming from the boot of Jonny Sexton.

But the highlight of the game, for the more masochistic among us, was the tackle that Nacewa laid on Bath’s Dan Hipkiss.

After some broken play a looping pass forced Hipkiss to turn away from the marauding Blue line setting him up to be nailed by Nacewa, leaving the former England man prone on the ground for a while.

The hit was legal as Nacewa did try to wrap his arms around Hipkiss, he just stopped once he realised the ball was long separated from the man.

The two sides meet up in Dublin this weekend so there may be some more of this sort of stuff at the RDS.

Can’t wait.
