'You get the rub of the green sometimes' - Lowe

It's two tries in two games so far in the Guinness Six Nations for James Lowe, although even he admits his most recent effort may have an asterisk beside it.

"Well, I don't think one of them was a try..." he says, when asked if he'll make it three from three against Italy this Saturday.

His try against France was Ireland's second of four, drawing them back within a point of Fabien Galthie's side, and taking the sting out of the try France had just scored to put themselves in front.

It was an instant reply and arguably the turning point of the game. The only issue is that it shouldn't have stood.

Lowe appeared to produce an incredible finish to dive for the corner and ground the ball under the last-ditch efforts of Damian Penaud, although replays showed his foot had gone into touch before the grounding, something that was missed by referee Wayne Barnes and his TMO.

But rather than being worried about the footwork, initially he thought he's grounded the ball over the touchline.

"Man, well I actually knew as soon as I put it down [it was out]," Lowe says as he recalls the touch of luck.

"I was thinking, 'Ah damn, this is out, don't worry about the foot'.
