Tommy Bowe Set To Miss Ireland’s Six Nations Campaign

Irish rugby star Tommy Bowe looks set to be ruled out of Ireland’s Six Nations campaign. The news comes after Ulster confirmed that the centre will be recovering from injury for up to six months. Ireland had a rollercoaster of a World Cup campaign, with Paul O’Connell, Johnny Sexton and Peter O’Mahony just some of the key players to be ruled out due to injury.

Bowe meanwhile was stretchered off during Ireland’s quarter-final clash with Argentina, and now Ulster has confirmed that he suffered posterior cruciate ligament injuries. The talented player underwent surgery on Monday and a statement from the province revealed that it will take up to six months for him to recover. "He [Bowe] had successful surgery to repair the damage yesterday and he will be ruled out for at least six months," it read. Tommy Bowe sustained the injury in the Rugby World Cup.  Meanwhile, Jared Payne and Iain Henderson are also on the injury list according to the statement. Henderson will undergo surgery this week to stabilise a joint in his hand, while Jared Payne also underwent surgery on his fractured foot.
