'People think Sam Prendergast is fragile. I don't see it' - Ireland coach Aled Walters says No 10 is underestimated
Briefly

Sam Prendergast, a young rugby player, faces skepticism about his physical stature impacting his performance at the international level. This skepticism was amplified by former Scotland player Jim Hamilton, who characterized Prendergast as 'too small' and 'physically out of depth' following Prendergast's debut match against Argentina. Hamilton's subsequent comments on his widely listened podcast have significantly influenced public perception of Prendergast's abilities on the rugby field, igniting discussions around the necessary physical attributes for success in international rugby.
Hamilton's podcast has a huge reach and, so, when he offered the opinion that Prendergast was 'too small' and 'physically out of depth' after his debut against Argentina, the comments left an impression.
The idea that Sam Prendergast is too small to play international rugby has been doing the rounds for a while and the comments of former Scotland second-row Jim Hamilton in November added fuel to that fire.
