Simon Easterby is confident Jack Crowley knows his future belongs in Irish rugby after recalling the fly-half to Ireland’s number 10 jersey for Saturday’s Guinness Six Nations finale against Italy.

Crowley, 25, replaces younger rival Sam Prendergast at fly-half for the first time in the 2025 championship having lost his starting place to the rookie playmaker midway through November’s Autumn Nations Series and being restricted to cameos at full-back in the last three matches with his rival allowed to play the full 80 minutes against Scotland, Wales and France.
