The debate has raged throughout the 2025 championship over who Simon Easterby should start at out-half in what could be the Six Nations title decider at the Aviva Stadium on March 8
Sam is the man to face France, says Brian O'Driscoll - as he backs "unflappable" young gun Prendergast to guide Ireland to victory.
"Like, why would you change it now?," asked O'Driscoll, who thought that the Wales game last weekend was the time to put Jack Crowley back in at No 10 if it was going to happen. "If he does have to be called in for a 20 minute cameo he's our guy for that too, we're not losing a whole lot. But I think it would be a strange change now. After picking Sam three in a row, you stay the course with it."
"He missed the one off the post , no panic, he's still going for the spiral 50-22, the spiral bomb. Even after he miscues the spiral kick into touch, what he doesn't do is try to play the miracle pass to get himself out of that next time, like trying to make up excessively for an error.
