Sam Prendergast, who made his first Six Nations start for Ireland against England, insists there is no animosity with his rivals for the number 10 jersey, including Jack Crowley. Despite the competition, Prendergast emphasizes a strong camaraderie between the three fly-halves, acknowledging the collaborative nature of their training and off-field interactions.
There is no mean-spirited rivalry between Sam Prendergast and his rival number 10s when it comes to getting their hands on the Ireland jersey, the youngster has revealed.
Much was made in the build-up to the tournament if he would start ahead of Jack Crowley. But despite himself and Munster star Crowley vying to be the next stalwart at fly-half, Prendergast says it's all good vibes between himself and his fellow kickers. And although there is plenty of outside noise when it comes to the number 10 jersey, a calm Prendergast says he takes no heed.
There was plenty of good and some bad for the Leinster star on Saturday, missing two conversions and a mixed bag with general kicking.
