Fit again Tommy Bowe is unconvinced he is a contender for the Lions tour to Australia this summer despite his return to action with Ulster after knee surgery.
Bowe said: “I wouldn’t be that hopeful at all but I would obviously love it. It would be an amazing thing. I went on the last tour and it is one of those things. It is the pinnacle of your rugby career and it would be amazing to get picked to go again.”
The Ireland winger made history as the first player to score 50 tries in the Rabo 12 league in Friday night’s 34-18 victory over Connacht in Galway.
He added, “It is nice to get to that milestone and hopefully plenty more to come. Personally I’m just very happy with how I’ve come back from the injury, to be out for four months and then get myself back playing rugby again. We’ll see what happens.”
