The Ulster and Ireland wing discusses Ulster's PRO12 chances and the high-profile signing of Charles Piutau, his comeback from a long-term knee injury and how the league can compete with the big-spending Premiership and Top 14.

Bowe also looks ahead to next summer's British and Irish Lions tour of New Zealand. The Monaghan native is a two-time tourist, featuring in all three Tests against South Africa in 2009 and the final two against Australia in 2013.

Live PRO12 Rugby Union
