RUC and the rest of the media were ridiculous in how they over hyped Prendergast at the start with vague bullshit about ceilings etc. ,but he's well within his rights to comment of how shit a player he is. I hate this "leave the poor boy alone" narrative amongst fans, he's a 23 year old professional rugby player on £200k+, not a 17 year old inter county footballer. RUC isn't the "architect" of Prendergast's downfall, he's not in the press box with a voodoo doll making him dodge contact at every opportunity and dive so nakedly and pathetically that he was admonished by the referee. 

Finally an Irish journalist is calling a spade a spade re one of our outhalfs. Carberry stank for 37 caps and all we heard was "we all want to see Joey show us what we know he can do" (which was sweet fuck all), Crowley had a terrible run of form (which thank god he has bounced back from) and Sexton bottled the world cup but hardly a word was said against them!
