Crowley’s performance and leadership in the narrow URC loss to the Sharks in King’s Park two weekends ago was superb. Only two gettable missed kicks really blotted his copybook but the evidence of his Six Nations renaissance was obvious. Having chosen to play against the elements, they just didn’t play them well enough but Crowley came into his own after the interval. That Crowley is impressing as he has this last fortnight in a losing and struggling Munster team only adds to the credit he is lodging in the bank. It’s a line we hear time and again from players in struggling teams regardless of the sport, but the Kildare man insists they are far from done.
