The Munster captain is set to become just the 10th Irishman to win 100 international caps
Peter O’Mahony has revealed his embarrassment at joining Ireland’s “hugely inspirational” list of centurions and hopes even greater moments are to come as he targets Rugby World Cup success.
“To be the 10th, it’s going to take some time to settle in. It’s nothing I ever expected or dreamed of. We all talk about having dreams but that one was way off the radar.“I’m hoping there are going to be bigger moments in my career than this one – and hopefully in the near future.” O’Mahony, 34, concedes he is no longer physically able to keep up with younger players in training and therefore devotes his efforts to being in peak condition come match day.
“It’s our be-all and end-all and I’m not going to say that lightly,” he said of winning the tournament. “Myself and Johnny had a conversation about it, I think it was on the way to the South African game actually, about sometimes it is weird to be in Paris and to think about Axel and what happened,” said O’Mahony.
