Munster have confirmed that Peter O’Mahony has made the decision to step down as squad captain after over 10 years leading the province.

O’Mahony first captained Munster in a competitive game on September 3, 2011 at the age of 21 in what was just his 12th appearance for the province before officially taking over the Munster captaincy on a permanent basis ahead of the 2013/14 season following the departure of Doug Howlett.
