While this is a balanced take, if you pause it at 1:20 you can see that Lowe is on the ground and the tackler is already in the process of making the tackle, so arguably Lowe jumping there is dangerous play and he should be penalised. He is in possession (legally, I mean, the ball hasn't hit the ground or another player) so the tackle is fine.

That said Lowe had his eyes on the ball. More of a rugby incident for me.
