To me, its a floor vs ceiling debate. I think Crowley currently has the higher floor while Prendergast has the higher ceiling (potential). If your goal is to win the Six Nations this year perhaps Crowley is the safer option but he lacks the athleticism of Frawley and the potential of Prendergast. As the next world cup is a fair bit off, I would focus on giving Prendergast the game time to develop.

Its a toss of a coin between Frawley and Crowley. Frawley is the kind of player who will give you a 9/10 performance two weeks on the trot but then could have a 4/10. Crowley is mister 7/10. I think on the face of it Prendergast is a better player. He is just that little bit inexperienced and perhaps could do with putting on a few Kg's. In terms of short term debate I'd stick with Crowley as a starter. If Prendergast continues on his current trajectory. He will be Irelands starting ten for a decade

For whatever reason it feels like the power house in Irish rugby just prefer Leinster men over Munster men. Crowley has given zero reason to doubt him but there always seems to be a push to get a Leinster man in the 10 jersey. I think Irish rugby should focus on building Prendergast into the role and let Frawley be the utility back he is

This is test rugby against test packs, not club rugby where Leinster field a top class international pack against club packs. Prendergast has the easiest 10 job in world rugby as a result. But that's by the by. More obvious are his defensive limitations. Against seriously competitive teams, such as Leinster only meet in semi finals and finals, he'd be targeted. The French, say, will eat him up. O'Gara-like non-defenders can't be tolerated at 10 in the modern game. Crowley, by contrast, as well as being a much more elusive runner, is an elite defender at 10, despite his size. That said, Prendergast has the frame to become more powerful and the talent to learn to be a good defender. If he has the will for it (ROG never did), he could solve those defensive issues and win the position. His defense makes him simply a non-starter at the moment though. So it's Crowley by default.

I would love to coach a team with those three talented players. A lot is being made of who is THE ten and I think that's the wrong way to view it. I would give Crowley and Prendegast equal starts over the next two years. Let them both develop their own talents. They bring a bit different skills and styles to the team and I'd want both in my 22 for every first class match. I'd approach these two the way Rassie is approaching the Boks lately - developing as many equal starters as possible. Frawley, I think, is in third place here and needs to develop (alongside Osborne) as the next generation at 12 and 15. He needs to be in the mix, I just don't think he'll be a regular 10. I feel bad for any other twenty year old tens in Ireland. There's just no room at the top.

If you think that the Crowley-Frawley-Prendergast contest is hard to call, here's another name to add to that - Caspar Gabriel. Born in Austria, moved to Ireland at 14 to attend school (and play rugby). He was 'fast tracked' in to the Leinster Academy, playing at outhalf. He has played with the Ireland U19s. He will soon have eligibility to play for Ireland under the residency rules. Apparently CG is quite the talent already - some French clubs have being making their interest known.

He could be even better. He has played for Ireland at a much younger age than Sexton and has the advantage of now starting for Leinster. Sexton was in his mid 20s before he emerged from the shadow of Contempomi at Leinster and then had to take the Irish shirt off O’Gara. Prendergast’s rival for Ireland, Crowley, has only one season more experience and is out of form at the moment.

Tell what? He does well with front foot ball behind a dominant pack. Which he gets pretty much every time he plays for Leinster. He won't get that at test match level in every game and then we shall see what he is made of. So far? In two games when his space and time got squeezed. Aussies and Pumas...Prendergast struggled. Crawley came on and changed tempo/game v Aussies. When Crawley went off v Pumas? The opposite happened. Prendergast was targeted and Pumas came within a whisker of snatching that game. I've yet to see Prendergast overcome slow ball and a pack struggling to get over the gain line. I have seen Crawley do it multiple times. I don't get caught up in Highlights. If you do, you miss things. Like in Puma game, Prendergast putting his team in poor positions bc pressure of Puma back row clearly got to him. It led to even in static moments kicking pens from hand, Prendergast making bad mistakes. Ireland lose that or the Puma game which they easily could've. I doubt the hype train is as big as it is.
@28coplandКүн бұрын
Prendergast has the confidence in his ability, Crowley u fear gets in his own head at times if he misses a penalty his head goes down and will keep kicking for touch even tho ther are 3 points for the taking, Prendergast has the bigger boot by far I've seen him pin penalty restarts right next to the flag making the maul try nearly a cert, Crowley will be few yards back at test level this matters , sam has the offloads and finesse and a bit of cockiness which at times is needed (munster fan)Jack is still a fabulous player but I think SP cud b generational talent given the time

What happens when Ireland's pack isn't dominant? Crawley can play and win playing on the back foot. He has done so for Munster on numerous occasions. Few times I've seen Prendergast without space and time? He has been underwhelming. Aussies and Pumas got after him and he struggled. Ireland could've lost both games. Both games as OP mentioned changed in tempo when Crawley was replaced (slowed) or came on (increased). People get carried away with a few highlights and neglect to pay attention to the overall game. Things like multiple kicks out on the full on Pens get overshadowed by a highlight. Yet? They don't magically disappear.

He lit up a 14 man Fiji team and people of course put way too much weight in that performance. Few times I've seen Prendergast without the oodles of time and space Leinster's pack provide him? He has struggled mightily. Fella bigging up his Lions' debut yet in very next game he was awful. Lad has talent but I see serious flaws in his game. Not strong enough, defensive liability, passing is very hot/cold and his game management is not great. He gets away with most of these flaws because of the club team he plays for. At test match level especially in cauldron of 6Ns, he won't get anywhere near as much leeway.
