Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Luke, what was your verdict on that performance?

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

I want to ask you about Scrum Half, Luke, or sorry, Rudd.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Like Luke McGrath's going to Perpignan at the end of the season, Gibson Park, obviously Ireland front-liner doesn't play a whole number of URC regular season games and he's also 34, he'll be 35 next year, obviously going to the World Cup and then after that he'll be getting on in his career.

Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

that kind of strikes me there's no obvious I know Fintan Gunn plays a lot he hasn't really grasped the kind of that position though really like I know Cormac Foley who was impressed on occasion with Leinster was along with the Ospreys for a stint this year so it's kind of a bit in flux like it's an interesting it's one area in particular where Leinster don't seem to have huge depth and I'll be interested to see how it shakes out over the next say year or two in terms of if they might bring somebody in or how that might go

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

He's actually a year younger than Gibson Park as well, which is funny.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

It's like, oh, the veteran Luke McGrath.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

He's actually younger than the starter.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

I know because Gibson Park obviously came over later in his career.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Yeah, I'm interested to see how that scrum half situation shakes out.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

I could see Ben Murphy in a couple of years time, like Leinster making a play for him.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

I know he's from Leinster, obviously, like he didn't go to Leinster Academy or anything like that.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

And his father obviously is coaching Ulster.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

But I think Ben Murphy has huge potential.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

And I could see it in a period where Gibson Park maybe is transitioning out of the team or is moving on.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

I could see them going for Ben Murphy and him slotting in really well.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

I think he has massive potential.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

Nathan Doak will be there as well.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

It's not as if like... Yeah, but he's a good bench option on the weekends.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

But it's definitely, it's a, I mean... If you want game time, Leinster is the province to go to, I would argue, because Gibson Park won't be there very often and you'd probably end up starting 15-year or so.

The Left Wing
Prendergast's future, the Lancaster surge & Munster's lost season

I agree with you, Rod.
