Gregor Townsend rates Sam Prendergast as a big talent.
Murray Kinsella Reports from Edinburgh THE WINDOWLESS MEDIA room underneath the west stand at Murrayfield might not be the most atmospheric place to watch a match taking place 675km south in Twickenham but it didn’t really matter where you were for this endgame.
Murrayfield has been a happy place for Ireland for most of the past decade. It was the scene of an unforgettable final day of the 2015 championship when Joe Schmidt’s men hammered the Scots but had to wait anxiously to make sure England didn’t pip them to the title on points difference. A huge group of Irish fans stayed on at the Edinburgh stadium and were able to see their team reemerge that evening to lift the trophy.
Over at Murrayfield, the Scottish press pack were feeling rather pessimistic about today’s game, with a couple of them suggesting that an 11th consecutive Irish win feels inevitable. It’s hard to break that cycle. Scottish Rugby is hosting big-name guests including Paolo Nutini, Gerard Butler, JK Rowling, and Colin Hendry at today’s game but it will be the stars on the pitch who their supporters really care about.
“What a talent he is,” said Townsend, as reported in the Scotsman. “I watched in admiration, but obviously with a bit of disappointment, when he was playing for Ireland U20s and they beat us by 80 points a couple of years ago.
