Ireland will round off their November internationals against Australia next Saturday, with the return of former coach Joe Schmidt. However the youngster was in deep trouble a few minutes later as he was sin-binned for turning as Kitione Salawa stormed down the wing and his shoulder connected with the Fijian’s head.
Prendergast breathed a sigh of relief on the sideline as he got the benefit of the doubt and his yellow card was not upgraded to a red. Prendergast returned just as Fiji got points on the board, Caleb Muntz converting a penalty for 14-3.
