Bowe gathers, Bowe gathers… Bowe gathers.
TOMMY BOOOOOWEEE!
Most rugby players could only dream of carving out a career and making memories like Tommy Bowe did.
The Ulster Rugby icon has announced his retirement from the game he lit up with electrifying brilliance and the sport lost a little bit of its soul in the process.
Tommy Bowe has been a servant of Ulster, a galactico of Ospreys and even a superstar of Ireland and, every time his body permitted him to, he inspired men, women and children with raw pace, unnerving bravery and devilish craft.
At the end of the season though, Tommy Bowe will play his last game of rugby but his impact will live on.
Bowe gathers….Bowe GATHERS.. BOWE GATHERS!!

Naturally, he was congratulated and thanked for everything he had done for the game and his respective teams.
Congrats on a great career Tommy. Top player 🙌🏼 Enjoy the break and Best of luck with the next steps!!

From the fresh face and bleached tips to the animal who’d run over any machine for a shortcut.

But people in Monaghan are not done with him yet.
@monaghangaa could be looking for a target man in full forward!

@TommyBowe14 @EmyvaleGAA see the big man free next year would we have a Jersey to fit

Finally, an answer.
Asked @TommyBowe14 earlier this season if he'd be up for a GAA return whenever he retired from rugby.
Said his body would be hanging together but he might try goalie! https://t.co/WmV29rpwya— Pat McCarry (@patmccarry) January 15, 2018
