Pressure helped us, admits O'Mahony

Ireland back rower Peter O’Mahony admitted the team were motivated by the pressure to stay in the top 8 of the IRB World Rankings when they took to the field against the Pumas on Saturday.

Only a victory could guarantee Ireland a top 8 billing ahead of the 2015 World Cup pool allocation draw on December 3 and Declan Kidney’s men delivered with a comprehensive 46-24 win over the Pumas.
