Despite giving some thought to the idea of a temporary switch to an interprovincial rival, Sam Prendergast has said Leinster is the best place for him as he looks to progress up the out-half ladder from a provincial perspective.

In competition with the likes of Ciaran Frawley, Ross Byrne and his younger brother Harry for the number 10 spot in Leinster, there was some talk towards the tail end of last season that Prendergast might make a loan move to Connacht for the current campaign in order to gain more opportunities as a starter.
