ACADEMY SCRUM-HALF PADDY Patterson kept up his superb scoring form for Munster this season when he crossed for the fourth time in the last five games in the 58-3 hammering of Ospreys on Friday night.
The willingness by Munster to run the ball at every opportunity showed when six of the seven starting backs managed to score a try against Ospreys, with only winger Liam Coombes – who went off injured after 52 minutes – the only one not to touch down. Patterson, whose seven starts and five off the bench this season has seen him treble his number of Munster appearances to 18, said that Prendergast has been a big help, especially as he too was a scrum-half.
He’s so good with everyone, he’s constantly on to lads about improving, little things whether you run square, or communication, or connecting. He has a huge influence on everyone, not just me.” With Conor Murray and Craig Casey in Irish camp, Patterson has had to make the most of every opportunity he gets but the Dublin native has really pushed on since producing a man of the match display in that memorable win over South Africa XV at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in November.
