Michael Lowry will never forget scoring two tries on ’emotional’ Ireland debut

Full-back Michael Lowry admits he will “never forget” his dream Ireland debut after lighting up Dublin with an electric display in the Guinness Six Nations.

The 23-year-old capped a spellbinding first Test outing by claiming two of nine Irish tries in Sunday’s crushing 57-6 bonus-point success over Italy.

Much of the post-match focus was on the beleaguered Azzurri being forced to play more than an hour two players short due to a debatable regulation.
