Patrick Patterson (born 30 November 1998) is an Irish rugby union player who plays as a scrum-half for United Rugby Championship club Munster.

Early life

He attended Blackrock College, leaving in 2017.

Professional career

Leinster

Patterson entered the Leinster academy ahead of the 2018–19 season. He made his senior debut in the 2018–19 season, featuring against the Dragons one day after his 20th birthday.[1]

Munster

Patterson joined Leinster's provincial rivals Munster on a short-term contract in January 2021, where he provided cover for Craig Casey and Conor Murray, who were away with the Ireland squad for the 2021 Six Nations, and the injured Neil Cronin.[2] He made his debut for Munster in their 28–10 win against Welsh side Scarlets in round 15 of the 2020–21 Pro14 on 12 March 2021, coming on as a 65th minute replacement for Shane Daly,[3] and made his first start for the province in their 31–17 win against Italian side Benetton in round 16 one week later, though he was forced to leave the field with an ankle injury in the 37th minute,[4] which subsequently required surgery.[5]

Patterson left Leinster to join year three of Munster's academy programme ahead of the 2021–22 season,[6] and he joined the Munster senior squad on a two-year contract from the 2022–23 season.[7] Patterson started in Munster's historic 28–14 win against a South Africa XV in Páirc Uí Chaoimh on 10 November 2022, earning the player of the match award.[8]

Ireland

Patterson represented the Ireland under-20s at the 2018 Six Nations Under 20s Championship and at the 2018 World Rugby Under 20 Championship.
