"I will stand up and say that Jonny May try, I didn’t think he was going to score that, and I know it’s my role to get back there and stop it. I fully understand that. "But as someone who’s still a player, or he’s still playing professional rugby, who would probably have more of a player’s perspective on things… could probably have understood or worded it in a different way."2020/21 saw Lowe have injury and fitness issues, but he had a good pre-season, last summer, and has scored seven tries in 11 games for Leinster and Ireland, thus far this season.
"The biggest thing for Lowey playing is probably his left foot. You even saw with how Ireland played against Italy and how many times they used him on the exit, which is very important - especially in those tight games. "Against England - and I reckon he will play - I think that left foot is a huge weapon, to try and exit out of your half. That is so important in those games that are really tight."Farrell will now have to make a three-into-two decision for his starting wingers, with Lowe, Hansen and Andrew Conway all in contention. Although he has shown he is capable of selection surprises, we feel Lowe and Conway will get the nod for Twickenham. Greg O'Shea asked how others in the Ireland squad may feel about Lowe coming in after two rounds of the championship and 'leapfrogging everyone else'. "I don't know," Byrne remarked, "maybe as the lads that are in camp!" WATCH HOUSE OF RUGBY HERE
