James Lowe given another shot at launching a case for the defence

James Lowe brings something that others don’t, says Andy Farrell

James Lowe brings something that others don’t, says Andy Farrell.

Wales have been dismissed as imposters in the top half of the Six Nations table. Lucky, so the narrative goes, to have overcome a 14-man Ireland first up and fortuitous again when reeling the Scots back in at Murrayfield.

Wayne Pivac’s side have spent roughly two-and-a-half minutes in the opposition 22 so far in this Six Nations but they have six tries and two wins to show for it. Clinical is a word that Andy Farrell used again this week. This is what it looks like.
