Take that try from their own 22 after Hugo Keenan's priceless triceating tackle on Joseph Suwali, which was probably the turning point of the match.
But because it was backed up by that try from their own 22, you can see the cameras on Prendergast before the ball comes out.
The 40 minutes are up and I think he's saying we're going to run it or he calls a move.
And they go for this very good strike play.
McCluskey takes it up with Ringmills alongside him and the Aussie midfielder, it bonches the Aussie midfielder and
McCluskey with a wonderful match continuing his first game in 10 weeks quite extraordinary at 33 years of age just an extraordinary game and a great foil for Prendergast and Prendergast used him very well and they ship it out wide to Osborne and then they go through another 5 phases 11 players actually involved get their hands on the ball of course the other 4 all contributed to plenty of clear outs
Prendergast touched the ball six times.
He was the main pivot and manipulating defence.
It was just a wonderful try.
And given the context of it, arguably Ireland's tried the season so far and he played a vital part in that.
And I thought also his game management was much better than Carter Gordon's.
In the second half, if you look at the possession stats, it's 51-49, I think, in favour of the Wallabies.
But Ireland had over 70% of the territory because Prendergast played the game in the right areas.
Now, I know he wasn't perfect.
And I know he gave away an intercept try and I know he missed tackles, but Crowley injured.
We've got to take our hats off to this young 23-year-old when you think of where he was at from March onwards.
First losing his place in the Irish 23 for three games, then losing his place in the Leinster squad in all of their Champions Cup knockout matches, quarter-finals, semi-final, final.
It looked for all money.
like his season was over.
And then he comes back, plays very well in the quarterfinal against the Lions, plays well in the semifinal, has an excellent final against the Bulls, has manned the match.
