James Lowe and Finlay Bealham ready to create World Cup memories with Ireland

READY: Finlay Bealham.

Their earliest World Cup memories may well feature All Blacks and Wallabies but there can be no denying where James Lowe and Finlay Bealham’s allegiances lie on the verge of their World Cup debuts this month.

Sitting together in their Ireland jerseys following Saturday’s open training session in front of 12,000 spectators at Stade de la Vallee du Cher, the New Zealand-born wing and Australian-born prop are as much a part of the fabric of Andy Farrell’s 33-man squad as any player from Belfast, Cork, Dublin, or Limerick.
