“Perhaps you missed Jack was part of our squad announcement last week”
It wouldn’t be a regular build-up to a big Irish rugby test, without a few tin-foil hat takes from the fans.
With the Ireland squad assembling ahead of their Six Nations defence – which begins against England on February 1 – their social media team have been releasing content across their channels.
One X user was not too pleased with the lack of pictures of out-half Jack Crowley, implying that there is an agenda against the Munster man, who is currently battling for the No. 10 jersey with Leinster’s Sam Prendergast.
He wrote: “Really convenient how Jack Crowley is strategically being left out of all social media graphics and photo shoots”
The official Irish Rugby X account responded in kind and pointed out that Crowley had been used in their squad announcement graphic from last week.
They said:
“Hi Philip, we definitely don’t strategically include or exclude any player from our content, in fact we try our best to include as many players in our squad as possible across all graphics and in camp content.
“Perhaps you missed Jack was part of our squad announcement last week and I’m sure you’ll be seeing plenty of him and all our players in the weeks ahead!
