Peter O’Mahony: 'Today was about putting some pride back in the Ireland jersey'

Peter O’Mahony said his team had put some pride back in the Ireland jersey after he captained the side to a much-needed 22-15 victory over Wales in Cardiff on Saturday.

Two first-half tries from Jacob Stockdale and a second-half penalty try on the back of prolonged Irish scrum dominance built a 22-3 lead for Joe Schmidt’s side a week on from their record 57-15 defeat to England at Twickenham. It was just about enough to hold off a strong Welsh rally in their head coach Warren Gatland’s 67th and final home game at the Principality Stadium.
