The Munster man was used off the bench at inside centre against France.
AS DAMIAN PENAUD streaked under the Irish posts for France’s fifth try, Sam Prendergast already had his head in his hands.
It was the Kildare man’s first experience in a game of that magnitude, with the Grand Slam and Six Nations title on the line. So there’s no doubt Prendergast will have learned lots from being involved in such a contest, as well as from the errors he made. Goodman is in no doubt that Prendergast won’t get hung up on one of his passes being intercepted for a French score.
“So he was disappointed in the pass selection there but at the same time, we’ve got to give credit to Ramos for the read that he made. Last weekend, Crowley came off the bench at inside centre, replacing Bundee Aki after 56 minutes and making a positive impression. Goodman said that there hadn’t been an injury for Aki, rather than sending Crowley on at inside centre was a tactical decision.
