Chris Ashton apologises to James Lowe after bad mouthing the Irish winger

Chris Ashton labelled James Lowe as "too big, too heavy, too slow" while working as a tv pundit after the England v Ireland test at twickenham in 2020. It was James Lowe's second international appearance.

"He just apologised, obviously," said Lowe. "He said he was just caught in the moment and he obviously didn’t mean it. He said that he enjoyed the way I played. He loved how much I’ve grown as a player and that was it."
