James Francis Rawiri Lowe was born on July 8, 1992, in Nelson, New Zealand. Of Māori and English descent, he attended Nelson College where he excelled in both rugby and athletics, also representing New Zealand Under-15s in basketball. His professional rugby career commenced with the Tasman Mako in 2012, where he quickly demonstrated his offensive capabilities by scoring two tries in his debut season. Lowe played a crucial role in Tasman’s 2013 Championship victory, contributing six tries in eleven appearances to secure their promotion. He continued his impactful play in the ITM Cup Premiership, achieving eight tries in the 2014 season as Tasman reached the final.
His strong domestic performances led to a Super Rugby contract with the Chiefs in 2014, making his debut as a substitute and scoring a decisive intercept try. Over his tenure with the Chiefs until 2017, he became a fan favorite, consistently delivering high-scoring performances, including a career-high seven tries in the 2016 Super Rugby season. In 2017, Lowe transitioned to Irish province Leinster in the Pro14, making an immediate impact by scoring ten tries and beating forty-one defenders in his initial season. With Leinster, he secured winners’ medals in both the European Champions Cup and Pro14 in his first year. He signed a new three-year contract with Leinster in June 2020, continuing his role as a key player for the team.
Internationally, Lowe represented the Māori All Blacks from 2014 to 2017, scoring five tries in three appearances during the 2016 tour against the United States, Munster, and Harlequins. He became eligible to play for Ireland in November 2020 under residency rules and made his debut on November 13, 2020, scoring a try against Wales in the Autumn Nations Cup. He has been a consistent presence for Ireland in the Six Nations Championship, contributing to Grand Slam victories in 2023 and 2024, along with multiple Triple Crowns and Centenary Quaich wins. In November 2024, Lowe was included in the World Rugby Dream Team of the Year, recognizing his sustained high level of play.
