Lowe has missed Leinster’s last four games but was part of the extended matchday squad last weekend, when taking a full part in the warm-up, and according to Leo Cullen’s Monday update “will train as normal this week”. His return will add to Leinster’s kicking and offloading games, as well as his undoubted game-breaking ability – witness 50 tries in his 71 games to date for the province.
