Peter O'Mahony, September 7, 2023

IRELAND boss Andy Farrell has selected Peter O’Mahony as captain for the Six Nations.

Munster flanker O’Mahony takes on the role from Johnny Sexton, who retired following last year’s Rugby World Cup quarter-final defeat to New Zealand in Paris.

The 34-year-old, who first skippered Ireland in a 15-12 win over the United States in June 2013, has won 101 Test caps for his country, plus one for the British & Irish Lions.
