Province’s Irish wing contributes three tries and splendid all-round performance to bring strike rate to 57 tries in 78 matches

’s scoring burden on his broad shoulders in a semi-final at Croke Park, his exploits witnessed by 82,300, an Investec

The 31-year-old’s kicking is another significant boon, whether it’s his thumping left-footed clearances, or as he demonstrated in the early throes of the semi-final, a delicately judged chip and chase up the touchline. While the focus was rightly on the pass, Lowe’s rugby intellect enabled him to run an angled cutback from the touchline that not only split the defenders but caused them to lose sight of the Leinster wing for a nanosecond. Gibson-Park must be telepathic given the ball flight.
