Ireland boss backs Leinster out-half despite frailties in his defensive game
‘They’re loaded questions’ – Andy Farrell bites back as he defends Sam Prendergast
Jack Crowley came into this window with all of the momentum, but it’s Sam Prendergast who has the opportunity to close it out as Ireland’s No 10 going into the Six Nations if he can deliver against the Springboks.
Andy Farrell has nailed his colours to the mast by selecting the Leinster out-half for the final and most important game of the November window, doubling down on the decision he made last year to invest time and energy into the player he clearly believes will be Ireland’s starter in the most important position at the 2027 World Cup.
