In reply, Spearman and James Pearson shared an opening stand of 38 before the latter pushed forward at Mark Davies and was caught at second slip by Hodge.
Defensive work aside, Prydie was also able to open his try account for his country and become Wales' youngest try scorer at 18 years and 102 days, overtaking the mark of 18 years and 238 days set by Cardiff wing Tom Pearson in 1891, against England.
