Peter O’Mahony keen to move on from ‘strange reaction’

Peter O’Mahony has drawn a line under Ireland’s defeat to Wales a fortnight ago, so as to focus on Munster’s biggest game of the season, Saturday’s Heineken Champions Cup quarter-final against Edinburgh at Murrayfield. Yet, the “strange reaction” to Ireland’s backward step in this year’s Six Nations took a little longer to park.

The Munster captain is glad to be back in the bosom of his provincial family. He is under no illusions as to the size of the challenge awaiting in the Scottish capital: Richard Cockerill’s Edinburgh side defeated Leinster last Friday night.
