Sam Prendergast’s season won’t end in Croke Park on Saturday. A two-game Ireland tour to Georgia and Portugal awaits in July, after all, but the upcoming BKT URC Grand Final with the Bulls will go a long way to determining how his breakthrough campaign is framed.

Behind Ciaran Frawley and Ross Byrne for the No.10 jersey at provincial level last summer, the now 22-year-old was thought to be in a similar situation at Test level where Jack Crowley was very much the man in possession.
