Ulster Rugby v Dragons

NING

Looking ahead, despite still being in the Academy, Lowry is adamant he wants to be a key player for Ulster this season - and beyond - whether he be named at full-back or in his preferred position of fly-half. Having not played at 15 before the summer’s Junior World Cup, with his entire schools’ career being played at 10, the 20-year old admits he’s enjoying the new role, even if he does want to move back to his original position. “I'm happy enough to play anywhere at the minute, but in the future I'd like to move back into fly-half as much as I can,” he explains. “I'll try to keep on top of playing 10, but right now I'm really happy playing full-back. Playing full-back will also help me play 10 as well, you'll be able to think where a full-back doesn't enjoy to cover so you can find that kick space in behind. “I want to stay in the team as much as I can and push for a starting spot each week. Every week is a different week, every day is a different day, so anything can change, but I want to keep playing as much rugby as I can and hopefully stay injury-free.”
