As a former club president and father of an international player, John O’Mahony neatly encapsulates the close links between club rugby in Ireland and the national team it has supplied with Test-quality talent across the 30-year history of the All Ireland League.

It is a history that will be highlighted on TG4 tomorrow evening as AIL title sponsor Energia celebrates that milestone with the production of a documentary featuring former players such as Niamh Briggs, Gordon D’Arcy, Keith Earls, and Fiona Reidy and also O’Mahony, a recent past president of Cork Constitution and father of Munster skipper and Ireland flanker Peter O’Mahony.
