On 2 June 2007 he suffered a broken leg in the second test match against Australia, thus ruling him out of the 2007 Rugby World Cup. Following a full year of recovery and rehabilitation, Czekaj resumed playing for the Blues early in the 2008–09 season. He returned to the Wales squad in 2009 and scored his second try four years after scoring his first, and it came against the same opposition against which he scored his first try (Canada).
