Peter O’Mahony remains an important part of this Ireland set-up.
IRELAND CAN’T POINT to a lack of collective experience if things don’t go right at Murrayfield tomorrow.
O’Mahony will earn his 111th Ireland cap as Ireland’s starting blindside flanker at Murrayfield, coming in from outside last weekend’s matchday squad against the English. He lost his place in the starting XV during last summer’s tour of South Africa and was then used as a replacement three times in November before being absent from last weekend’s win over England altogether.
Ireland interim head coach Easterby was one of O’Mahony’s predecessors in the green number six shirt. Having won 65 caps, Easterby decided to retire from international rugby at the age 32. “He’s done it to one of the best standards in his position over the years that any Irish player has done. What is he? Is he 35? He loves being around camp because I think it just makes him feel a little bit younger than he is!
“That’s been something he’s really enjoyed and I think that’s been the reason he’s got that longevity.”They’re expecting that to be the case tomorrow against a motivated Scotland team who would surely take a bit of extra pleasure from beating an Ireland team that includes O’Mahony, one of their chief tormentors over the years.O'Mahony at Ireland training this week.
