Quiet man Peter O'Mahony the glue in Lions pack

Not screaming and roaring, rather going menacingly into the night. That is the leadership approach Warren Gatland sees Lions Test captain Peter O’Mahony possessing as he prepares to lead the tourists into the series opener with New Zealand.

“In this group we don’t have a lot of extroverts — we don’t have guys that talk for the sake of talking in a group setting, they are pretty quiet.

They are good in their micro units. Peter is very much like that,” the Lions head coach said of O’Mahony.
