The Best Thing We Shared

Serious skills on the rugby field…

 On The Record

It’s funny when you are being selected all the time and you are in every session. You take it for granted. But now every time for the last two or three weeks when I have been lacing up the boots to go out and do a full session it has been really exciting for me and something I would like to continue in my mindset before I take the training pitch.

Munster and Ireland forward Peter O’Mahony is fit again and delighted to be back after a lengthy battle with injury.
