Re: The Official Irish Rugby Thread

It's Prendergast, and he was not worth an eight. He has a great engine and he tackled well. He should be considered purely on his merits as a six, sighs, but won't be. Judged even solely as a 6, he's seriously not a better option than bringing Baird, right now I'd bring both Baird and McCarthy to b...
