Ireland have confirmed that James Lowe will miss the rest of the Six Nations with a groin problem.

The wing suffered the injury in the first half of their win over England at Allianz Stadium last Saturday.

Lowe has won 45 caps since his Ireland debut in 2020, playing every single minute of their Six Nations triumphs in 2023 and 2024.

The 33-year-old was dropped for their campaign opener against France this time around, but an impressive performance versus Italy saw him retain his starting position for their trip to England.

"I think he's due to see someone, a specialist," said Ireland defence coach Simon Enderby at their open training session.

"I would have thought they'd make a call on it over the next few days, but you could see when he tried to take off that he did something nasty.

"Lowey's pretty tough. He was getting up and down on the sideline when things were going well for us, and he was part of the cheerleading group on the sideline.

"I think the next couple of days will probably be reflected on his involvement before the end of the Six Nations."

Ireland sit third in the Six Nations table after their comprehensive victory over England, six points behind leaders and reigning champions France.

Andy Farrell's side host Wales and Scotland respectively in their last two matches, with Ireland still within an outside chance of lifting the trophy.
