It has been an up-and-down Autumn Series for Ireland but Farrell insists the side will have more to come.
Andy Farrell insists that Ireland have reserved their best for the return of Joe Schmidt with Australia next Saturday after his young guns survived and thrived in a "wild west" encounter with Fiji.
Flanker Cormac Izuchukwu - who could have been in Parnell Park playing for Tullamore against Cuala tonight instead of playing in green at the Aviva Stadium - also showed well on his international bow. Whether it was the warm-up needed for the return of a fired-up Schmidt - who Farrell succeeded in the Ireland hot-seat after the 2019 World Cup - with the resurgent Wallabies remains to be seen.
There was a massive focus on Leinster's young No.10 Prendergast, who had previously starred for the Ireland under-20s and Emerging Ireland, coming into this fixture. Farrell rebuffed the claim afterwards as he spoke of a "wild west" afternoon at the breakdown. "Ah, I get why it is," he said.
