Jack Crowley out until 2027 with vascular injury

Munster Rugby and Ireland have been dealt a significant blow with the confirmation that star flyhalf Jack Crowley will be sidelined until the new year due to a lower limb vascular injury. The 26-year-old, who is a key figure for both his province and country, will miss the opening months of the 2026-27 season, including Ireland's upcoming Autumn Tests. The announcement was made by Munster on August 27, 2026, ahead of their first preseason fixture against La Rochelle. The injury is a fresh setback for Crowley, who missed the latter part of the 2025-26 season with a leg issue.
