James Lowe signs with Suntory Sungoliath after leaving Leinster

Tokyo Suntory Sungoliath has announced the signing of former Ireland and Leinster wing James Lowe on a two-year contract. Lowe left Irish rugby after the 2025-26 season, having chosen not to extend his contract with Leinster. The 34-year-old has been a notable figure in rugby, winning two Six Nations titles with Ireland and a Champions Cup with Leinster. His new contract will likely prevent him from returning to international play for the next World Cup in Australia. Lowe expressed excitement about joining the team and emphasized his commitment to contributing positively on and off the field.
