Ireland skipper Peter O'Mahony has hinted that he might retire from international rugby after leading the side to the Six Nations Championship.

Ireland’s flanker Peter O’Mahony lifts the Six Nations trophy after winning the Six Nations international rugby union match between Ireland and Scotland at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, on March 16, 2024. – Ireland retained their Six Nations title with a gritty 17-13 win over Scotland at Lansdowne Road on March 16, 2024.

“It’s a rare feeling,” admitted O’Mahony, who lifted the trophy with Tadhg Furlong, whose father passed away late last year. “Last games that were dead rubbers so to be in it, to be winning championships like that is not something we’d ever take for granted.”, Gatland said when asked if he remained committed to Wales: “Yes, absolutely. I’ve made that commitment. I just said to Abi in the changing room ‘If you want me to resign, I’m quite happy to do that’. She said ‘Like hell, that’s the last thing I want, that’s what I’m really afraid of’.

“I can’t question the effort of the boys and in fairness to Italy we didn’t put them under a huge amount of pressure and they managed the game well.”England skipper Jamie George feels that his team are on the up despite a last-gasp loss to France to conclude their championship.
