James Lowe is part of Ireland's November Test plans, says Farrell

The exciting Leinster wing qualifies for Ireland later this year

Andy Farrell is hoping James Lowe can return to rugby in top form and make his case for an Ireland call-up this autumn inevitable.

The exciting Leinster wing qualifies for Ireland before the November international window after three years of residence here following his move from the Chiefs in his native New Zealand in 2017. Having scored 28 tries in 43 appearances for Leinster, the 28-year-old is likely to be brought into the Ireland squad by head coach Farrell at the first opportunity for a proposed eight-team tournament featuring the Six Nations countries and two other nations, expected to be Japan and Fiji.
