Ireland captain Peter O’Mahony has insisted his squad are not out to prove a point as they move on from their World Cup quarter-final exit on their return to France for the Guinness Six Nations opening round.

O’Mahony, appointed by Andy Farrell to succeed Johnny Sexton as national team skipper, will lead Ireland into a new era at Marseille’s Stade Velodrome on Friday night when they play the French to get the 2024 championship underway.
