'The rest of his game has come on an absolute treat,' Farrell impressed with Peter O'Mahony's form 

MAN IN A HURRY: Peter O'Mahony is handed a start in Saturday's Guinness Six Nations game against England in London

Ireland head coach Andy Farrell said the development of Peter O’Mahony’s all round game helped to give the Munster captain the nod for their Six Nations Championship clash with England at Twickenham Stadium on Saturday.

Despite scoring a try from blindside flanker in their round three rout against Italy in the Aviva Stadium last Sunday week, the Cork man was expected to miss out - indirectly - to either Jack Conan or the fit-again Iain Henderson. Instead, Farrell has kept faith with the back-row of O’Mahony, Josh van der Flier and Caelan Doris for a second Test in succession.
