Crowley's Nations Cup Run in Doubt Due to Mystery Leg Issue
12 Jun
Summary
- Jack Crowley doubtful for Ireland's Nations Cup games next month.
- A rare blood vessel issue in his leg has been diagnosed.
- His return-to-play timeline is uncertain, ranging from overnight to months.
Jack Crowley, Ireland's starting fly-half for the recent Six Nations, is uncertain to feature in the upcoming Nations Championship games next month. Munster head coach Clayton McMillan confirmed that Crowley has been diagnosed with a blood vessel issue in the back of his leg.
This obscure condition was challenging to diagnose, but a plan is now in place for Crowley's management. McMillan noted the unpredictable nature of the recovery, stating it could resolve very quickly or take a couple of months.
The 25-year-old, who has earned 35 caps for Ireland since his 2022 debut, was instrumental in their recent Triple Crown victory in the Six Nations.
Ireland are scheduled to play Australia on July 4, Japan on July 11, and New Zealand on July 18, all matches taking place in Australia and New Zealand respectively. Crowley's absence would be a significant blow to the team's prospects.
