Just 21, he has earned his first start after showing admirable composure last Friday when he came on for Jack Crowley on the hour mark with Ireland struggling to keep their noses in front of Argentina.
The Irish did not add to their points tally of 22, but they held on to win 22-19 and Prendergast's performance had head coach Andy Farrell purring.
"I thought he was excellent," said Farrell. "I thought he was really composed, playing your first cap in that type of position, that type of situation.
"He played at a nice tempo at the line and started to make things happen. That just shows what type of character he's got."
