The 34-year-old became just the 10th Irish player to reach 100 international caps as he once again played a massive role for Andy Farrell's men.
Shane Lowry's wife sent a message to Peter O'Mahony's family after the Munster captain made history against Scotland.
He joins John Hayes, Brian O’Driscoll, Ronan O’Gara, Paul O’Connell and Rory Best, as well as current internationals Cian Healy, Johnny Sexton, Conor Murray and Keith Earls in reaching the milestone.O'Mahony's wife described the weekend as "surreal" as thousands of people left messages of congratulations.
Wendy Lowry was among them as she took to Instagram to write: "Congratulations @peteromahony @jeskaomahony xx." Speaking immediately after Saturday's match, O'Mahony said that he wanted to park thoughts of the last eight showdown with New Zealand until the following day."I think it's a special, sacred place in rugby, the dressing-room after an international, after a win like that on a big occasion, spend a bit of time with the lads after the effort of the week and everything that goes into it.
"I'm going to enjoy the next 60 minutes and we'll turn the page tomorrow to a big week for Irish rugby."
