Jack Crowley is the favourite to replace Johnny Sexton as the out-half for Ireland. With Ross Byrne injured, Crowley is expected to wear number 10 for the 2024 Six Nations opener against France.

Byrne could be sidelined for a while with his unfortunate bicep injury. The Leinster man was the other Irish out-half at the recent World Cup, starting the pool game against Tonga. Crowley was the bench option behind Sexton for the big games against South Africa, Scotland, and New Zealan
