Patrick Joseph Bourke Crowley (20 October 1923 – 9 June 1981) was a New Zealand rugby union player.
A flanker, Crowley represented Auckland at a provincial level, and was a member of the New Zealand national rugby union team, from 1949 to 1950.
[1] His performances saw him being called up for the national side, making his debut for the All Blacks during their tour of South Africa in 1949.
Due to injuries, New Zealand had to play much of the match with six forwards, and Crowley ended having to do the work of two men instead of one.
[1] Crowley retired from rugby union later that year at the age of 26, having played sixty-four first class matches.
