So, it’s official; tomorrow Sam Prendergast and Jack Crowley will take to the field opposite one another in a Leinster v Munster derby.

There’s been a bit of a surge of interest in the game and ticket sales have now gone past 50,000 for the Croke Park fixture. The prospect of the No 10s facing off has to have played a part.
