I thought Sam P was awful lucky to stay on but was delighted to see his crisp passing during the game. Perfect game for him to get a start. I think Crowley is still a stronger 10 right now but its good see Prendergast come through that game.
Prendergast is still raw and physically a bit light. However, his potential is absolutely huge. If he can gain experience in the next year I honestly think he will be Leinster and Ireland starting fly half by 2026.
I don't think Crowley will be satisfied with "short term starting 10", Prendergast will have to take the shirt off him. Also Frawley seems to have been completely forgotten as a potential 10 on the basis of one poor performance as a sub, despite probably still being Leinster's 1st choice.
anyone who thinks Sam is the result of a "D4 hype" train have never watched U20s Irish Rugby. Those who did saw the talent on display and wondered if it would step up to test level. he proved, by quite a distance, it does on saturday. true he was lucky over the red but a talent like this doesn't come that often in Irish rugby. Let's get excited and encourage him rather than turn it into a munster thing about crowley.
Actually coming from Connaught this is much more a Munster thing, it seems these days Munster would rather whine than get on with what’s in front of them and thats not where Munster should be.

Interesting stuff lads.

He is good but the lack of running threat will be an issue.
Crowley is the short term starting 10,Prendergast is the longer term starting 10.

Implying that other people didn't watch that 20s team is quite the stance

That tackle was horrible, completely cynical and intentional. Not a good look for Irish rugby in my opinion and I hope he cuts it out of his game.
