Anthony Foley delighted as skipper Peter O’Mahony commits to Munster

A collective sigh of relief led by head coach Anthony Foley was exhaled across Munster yesterday as Ireland back row and club captain Peter O’Mahony committed his future to the province.

The 25-year-old has put pen to paper on a three-year contract with and funded by the IRFU which will keep him at his native province until the summer of 2018.

The announcement, made yesterday as O’Mahony was participating in an Ireland squad training session at Galway’s Sportsground, put an end to concerns that the Corkman was considering leaving Munster.
