Sheehan, Lowe Boost Leinster Before Six Nations

Dan Sheehan and James Lowe are set to make their return for Leinster in the upcoming United Rugby Championship match against the Stormers, having recovered from significant injuries. Sheehan, who suffered an ACL injury during a match against South Africa, and Lowe, sidelined with a calf issue since November, both aim to gain match fitness before joining the Ireland squad in Portugal for Six Nations preparations. Will Connors, also returning from injury, will be available for Leinster. The Irish squad, under interim head coach Simon Easterby, has gathered in Dublin and will travel to Portugal for a warm-weather training camp ahead of their Six Nations opener against England on February 1. Leinster, currently topping the URC standings with an unbeaten record this season, sees this weekend's match as crucial for player readiness. Decisions on the availability of Liam Turner and James Culhane will be made later in the week as they continue rehabilitation.
