Keith Earls has expressed surprise that Sam Prendergast has got the nod over Jack Crowley at No.10 for Ireland 's clash with Joe Schmidt's Australia at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday.
Crowley, who has been named on the bench against the Wallabies, has started in 12 of 19 Ireland appearances and was the first-choice No.10 in the Six Nations winning campaign this year. "Jack has obviously had his ups and downs and obviously Munster have not gone so well at times this year. That hasn't helped him - but I still 100% think Jack is the man."
