Overview
- Lowe scored two tries to take his Leinster total to 71 and helped the province beat the Lions 59-10 to reach the URC semi-final.
- The match was Lowe's 100th appearance for Leinster, a rate of 71 tries in 100 games that moved him past the previous record-holder.
- His contract is due to expire at the end of the season and there has been no public announcement of a new deal; coach Leo Cullen declined to comment and said Lowe would speak for himself.
- Current selection practice in Ireland favors players based at home, so a move outside Ireland would likely end Lowe's chance of regular selection by Andy Farrell ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
- Lowe joined Leinster from the Chiefs in 2017, made his Ireland debut in 2020 and has 17 tries in 45 caps, and his two tries in the quarter-final suggested he remains a scoring threat after recent hamstring trouble that kept him out of the Champions Cup final.
