YOKOHAMA, Japan (Reuters) - Ireland may be famed for being the land of 100,000 welcomes but it has nothing on Japan, vice captain Peter O'Mahony said on Saturday.

Ireland takes much pride in its reputation as being one of the friendliest nations to visit, typified by the traditional Irish language greeting of"cead mile failte", translated as"100,000 welcomes?.

"We've had a fabulous welcome from the Japanese people," said O'Mahony, who captained Ireland in the 2009 Under-20 World Cup in Japan in a squad that also featured scrumhalf Conor Murray and fellow flanker Rhys Ruddock.
