FYI Sam Prendergast born in 2003, not 2004.

I don't know which is the more accurate source.

I'll guess Leinster.

He was born in 03.

I think it would be fairer to say the more accurate source is Mildly.

The article about Prendergast says 2003 and yet on his Leinster profile page he’s listed as 2004 so it would be incorrect to say say Leinster is more accurate!!!

I checked with Leinster and they have said he is 2003 - as Mildly said.

He was born in 03.

Here’s a useless bit of info. Sam Prendergast was born the year after J10 was on the winning St. Mary’s SCT.

Much like Julius Caesar and Charles Haughey, Sam Prendergast was born on two different dates. So he was born in 2003 and 2004. He is also 2.3m tall (7’6” and a bit) and played scrumhalf before he had a growth spurt.

A very good second game between Ireland U.19's and Japan tourists in Terenure College RFC on the 4G pitch saw Ireland rescue a win by 42-41 after a superb exhibition of fast attacking rugby by the visitors in the first half.

The Irish Squad were pretty much a scratch team with a raft of changes from the first game against the tourists last Wednesday. The Japanese scrum was a very strong weapon initially but it was their play in mid-field, where their short passing, great acceleration and speed tore holes in the Irish defence, that contributed to them racing into a half-time lead of 12-31.

Gradually, the Irish got to grips with the explosive back play and scrummaging of Japan and the home team came through in the final quarter to win by a point. Many of the refereeing decisions caused the spectators to wonder, but both sides exhibited good discipline and accepted the random nature of what was awarded.

Given that Japan will compete in the Junior World Cup in July in Cape Town, like their National side, the Under 20 version will present formidable opponents, with some of those on display in this game no doubt selected in the grade one year older than these lads. Japanese national rugby teams are worthy opponents for anybody in World Rugby.

Who looked good for Ireland?

Can see from the photos posted on the IRFU website that Lukas Kenny (Ulster winger), Adam Deay, Stephen Smyth and James McKillop seemed to score tries.
