Crowe started out in senior rugby as a fly-half and centre for his first few seasons at Old Belvedere, before earning an Ireland call up after impressing on the wing.[2] He made three appearances during the 1950 Five Nations Championship and in the same year claimed the 100/220 yard sprint double at the Irish AAU Championships.[3]
