Ireland internationals James Lowe and Jamie Osborne have signed new deals to remain at United Rugby Championship leaders Leinster.

Wing Lowe joined Leinster from the Chiefs in his native New Zealand before the 2017-18 season.

Lowe is the second highest try scorer in Leinster’s history, eight behind Shane Horgan’s record of 69 tries.

Now Irish-qualified, the 32-year-old is a key player for Ireland and helped them win back-to-back Six Nations titles, as well as the Triple Crown in 2025.

Osborne, who can play at full-back, centre or on the wing, came through Leinster’s academy and made his senior debut in January 2021.

The 23-year-old made his Ireland debut against South Africa in July and scored a try in Cardiff as Ireland beat Wales to win the Triple Crown in this year’s Six Nations.

The pair join Ireland backs Jack Conan and Ryan Baird in extending their contracts with Leo Cullen’s side.

Leinster are unbeaten in the United Rugby Championship after 12 matches and face Harlequins in the last-16 of the Champions Cup in April.
