James Lowe is set to bring the curtain down on a remarkable Leinster career when the defending champions face the Vodacom Bulls in the URC final at Croke Park.
On Tuesday, Leinster confirmed the Ireland wing will depart the club at the end of the season.
Next Friday night’s URC decider will be Lowe’s 102nd and final appearance for the province he has called home since arriving from New Zealand in 2017.

Lowe departs as the club’s record try-scorer, having crossed the line 71 times, while helping the Dublin outfit win five league titles (Pro12/Pro14/URC) and one Investec Champions Cup (2017-18).
Lowe played the full 80 minutes in last season’s 32-7 URC final victory over the Bulls at Croke Park.
In a social media post on Tuesday, Leinster called Lowe a “true-blue legend” and urged their fans to “give Lowey the send off he deserves at the URC grand final!”

The 33-year-old also became a key figure for Ireland after qualifying through residency, earning 45 Test caps and playing a central role in Six Nations title triumphs in 2023 and 2024.
