Fair to say that Sam Prendergast has answered most of the questions asked of him since being elevated to the role of Ireland’s first-choice No.10. Not a small statement for a 21-year old who still has just the five senior caps to his name.

The Leinster playmaker hasn’t been perfect but he has showed clear signs of progress since the 22 minutes he banked on debut against Fiji last November through to the Six Nations defeat of Scotland in Murrayfield two weekends ago.
