Jonah Lowe
Jonah Lowe (born 9 May 1996) is a New Zealand rugby union player, who currently plays as a wing or centre for Hawke's Bay in New Zealand's domestic National Provincial Championship competition and for the Highlanders in Super Rugby.
Lowe was born and raised in Hastings, and is a younger brother of former Māori All Blacks, Hurricanes and Hawke's Bay loose forward Karl Lowe.
Lowe initially attended St. John's College in Hastings, before moving to Auckland where he went to King's College for his final two years of high school. While there, he turned out for the college's first XV. In 2013, he helped them reach the semi-finals of Auckland's 1A Rugby Competition and finished on top of the individual 1A try-scoring ladder. In 2014, he also played for Auckland and the Blues at under-18 level.
After graduating high school, Lowe headed back home to his native Hawke's Bay where he played for Clive Rugby & Sports Club in the province's club rugby competition. In February 2015, he was named in the first Under 20 team in the Hurricanes' history for a game against their Blues counterparts.
In 2015, his first year out of school, Lowe was named in the Hawke's Bay ITM Cup squad. He made his Magpies debut against Canterbury - in the 13 jersey - on 12 September 2015. He played two more games that first season. Since then, he has cemented himself as a regular starter for the Magpies. Lowe's personal stats over the years have been excellent, including several tries and try assists each season. During the 2020 Mitre 10 Cup season, the Magpies won the Ranfurly Shield (taking it off Otago), were successful in three more Ranfurly Shield defences (against Northland, Manawatu and Wellington), and won the Mitre 10 Cup Championship. Lowe scored two tries in the Championship Final against Northland, helping his team secure a well-deserved promotion to the Premiership division.
Following the 2016 Mitre 10 Cup season, at the end of which Lowe was named 'Magpies Back of the Year', he was called up by the Hurricanes as cover for injured Hawke's Bay team mate Geoff Cridge. He trained with the Hurricanes during preseason and played for the franchise at the 2017 Brisbane Global Rugby Tens. Following that tournament, he was offered a full Hurricanes contract.
Lowe was - for the first time - named in the Hurricanes squad for the 2018 Super Rugby season. On 26 May 2018, he made his Super Rugby and Hurricanes debut against the Crusaders. Due to an unfortunate string of injuries, as well as otherwise being given limited playing opportunities, Lowe only played four games for the Hurricanes during his years at the franchise.
At the end of 2020, Lowe moved franchises and was named in the Chiefs squad for the 2021 Super Rugby season. He made his debut for the franchise on 5 March 2021 against the Highlanders and scored his first Super Rugby try on 17 April 2021 against the Crusaders. He played two seasons for the Chiefs in which he played 18 games and scored 7 tries. His most memorable game during this time was the Chiefs' 51–27 win over the Waratahs on 22 April 2022, in which he scored 4 tries.
