Kidney hails O’Gara milestone as O’Mahony makes entrance

DECLAN Kidney congratulated Ronan O’Gara for writing his name into the record books following Saturday’s victory over Italy and welcomed the arrival of Munster’s Peter O’Mahony on the international scene.

O’Gara wrote a new chapter in his illustrious career when he came on to win his 118th Irish cap and push him past injured skipper Brian O’Driscoll in appearances while Cork Constitution youngster Peter O’Mahony became the new kid on the block when sprung from the bench.

Although given no opportunity to build on his colossal points tally of 1,075, O’Gara slotted in seamlessly as Kidney moved bang-in form Sexton to centre.
