Sam Prendergast

Sam Prendergast is the Irish fly-half born in County Kildare who now kicks for Leinster and Ireland. He grew up in Suncroft, mastered several sports before rugby claimed him, and debuted with a last-minute penalty that sealed the win. His early life included a year and a half in Damascus with his Defence Forces family, where he befriended Diarmuid Mangan. That unusual childhood may have sharpened the calm in his boots.
