Leo Cullen has backed Sam Prendergast’s decision-making and says the 22-year old out-half will learn a lot from games like their 39-31 loss to the Bulls in Pretoria.

Prendergast had an eventful conclusion to the game, missing a drop goal from almost halfway three minutes from time when the URC champions trailed 32-31.
