Ireland retained their Six Nations title with a gritty 17-13 win over Scotland at Lansdowne Road in Dublin on Saturday.
In a thrilling match, Ireland showcased resilience and strategic prowess to outlast Scotland, cementing their position at the top of the tournament standings.
Peter O'Mahony, Ireland's flanker and newly appointed captain, expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance. \"If Saturday's Six Nations clinching win over Scotland proves to be my last game for my country, it would not be a bad way to go out,\" O'Mahony stated.
This victory marks O'Mahony's fifth Six Nations winners medal and his first as captain, a significant milestone in his rugby career. He took over the skipper role from Johnny Sexton in January, as Sexton's illustrious career of 12 years and 105 internationals came to a close.
Under O'Mahony's leadership, Ireland has demonstrated remarkable teamwork and determination, securing their position as a dominant force in European rugby.
