Philip Martin Crowe (24 August 1910 — 13 January 2000) was an Irish international rugby union player.[1]
Born in Dublin, Crowe was the younger brother of Ireland centre Morgan Crowe and attended Blackrock College.[2]
Crowe played for Blackrock College RFC and gained two international caps, debuting at Twickenham as a centre against England in Ireland's championship-winning 1935 Home Nations campaign, despite them dropping this match.[3] His second cap came against the same opponent at Lansdowne Road in 1938, which he had to play out of position at fullback[4]
