Ireland’s head coach, Andy Farrell, has made it clear that former Leinster star James Lowe probably won’t play for Ireland while he’s based in Japan. However, Farrell hasn’t completely shut the door on Lowe making a return for the 2027 Rugby World Cup.
The Japan Move and Its Impact
Lowe recently made the big decision to leave Leinster and join a club in Japan. This move has raised questions about his future with the national team.
- Farrell emphasized that players based outside of Ireland are rarely selected.
- He stated that Lowe’s current situation makes an immediate comeback unlikely.
What This Means for the World Cup
Despite the challenges, Farrell didn’t rule out a future return. When asked about the 2027 World Cup, he left the possibility open.
According to the coach, international rugby is a long game. He suggested that things could change over the next few years, depending on Lowe’s form and availability.
The Bottom Line on Lowe’s Ireland Future
For now, James Lowe’s green jersey is likely on hold. But Andy Farrell has made it clear that the story isn’t over. If Lowe continues to play well and the circumstances align, a World Cup return is still possible.
