Cian and Sam Prendergast wished each other luck at the start of the week, but that will be the extent of the communication between the brothers before tomorrow’s sold-out interpro derby at the redeveloped Dexcom Stadium.
The Prendergasts have already played against each other a couple of times, including at the Aviva Stadium three weeks ago when Cian (25) forced two turnovers – from a jackal and a choke tackle – on Sam, who ultimately had the last word, as he scored one of eight tries and kicked 12 points in Leinster’s thumping 52-17 win over Connacht.
