O’Mahony: We are in a very enjoyable place

Peter O’Mahony came into the 2014 Six Nations Championship driven by the hurt of a fifth-place finish last year.

Four games later, with Ireland on the brink of the title, the blindside flanker believes his side could not be in a better place as they prepare to take on France in Paris tonight.

Just 12 months ago, O’Mahony was trudging off the Stadio Olimpico pitch in the wake of a first Six Nations defeat to Italy as Ireland recorded their worst finish in the championship since the Italians joined the party in 2000.
