Sam Prendergast will get his first career start for Ireland against Fiji this weekend as the Irish side leans on youngsters in the Autumn Nations Series clash. 

The highly-rated fly-half, who has impressed since breaking onto the scene, will partner with scrum-half Craig Casey in a fresh half-back pairing. Gus McCarthy and Cormac Izuchukwu will also make their debuts for Ireland. 

After losing to Scotland to open their Northern Tour, Fiji have won two straight, including a convincing comeback against Wales two weeks ago. Fly-half Caleb Muntz was crucial, scoring four penalty goals and a conversion to put the Flying Fijians over the Welsh. Muntz also had four conversions against Spain last week.
