For the star of a Six Nations Grand Slam-winning campaign, and with a couple of senior caps with Leinster already on his CV, it would be tempting for Ireland Under-20s fly-half Sam Prendergast to buy into the hype and big future many expect to unfold for him.

The career trajectory would certainly get improve with a strong showing at the World Rugby Under-20 Championships which start in South Africa tomorrow afternoon when Ireland’s campaign gets underway with a Pool B opener against Six Nations rivals England at Paarl Gymnasium near Cape Town.
