Peter O'Mahony named captain as Andy Farrell announces Ireland Six Nations squad

Farrell has brought some fresh faces into the fold with some stalwarts to balance it out. 

Ireland's Peter O'Mahony applauds the fans after the Guinness Six Nations match at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff.

Peter O’Mahony will captain Ireland for the 2024 Guinness Men’s Six Nations as the Grand Slam winners defend their title in the first Test window after the retirement of Johnny Sexton.

Head coach Andy Farrell named a 34-player squad for the championship, which begins against France on Friday, February 2 in Marseille with the post-Sexton era leaving O’Mahony’s Munster team-mate Jack Crowley as the most experienced of three fly-halves selected.
