Munster’s Crowley named URC player of the year

Munster ‘s Jack Crowley has been named the United Rugby Championship’s Players’ Player of the Season.

The 24-year-old adds the award to his Next-Gen Player of the Season prize, as well as also being named in this season’s Elite XV.

The Ireland out-half has been ever-present for Munster, who finished top of the table during the regular season but were beaten at home to Glasgow in the semi-finals last weekend.

This prestigious award was voted on by the captain and vice-captain of all 16 teams.

Crowley follows in the footsteps of fellow Ireland international Dan Sheehan, who was named player of the season last year.

Yesterday, Munster head coach Graham Rowntree, was named coach of the season.
