Peter O’Mahony never pictured himself in a pundit’s chair after his playing days. Yet, next weekend, as Ireland face Italy in their second Six Nations outing, he’ll be in the Virgin Media studio alongside Conor Murray, Rob Kearney and Andrew Trimble.

O’Mahony said he wants to explain what defeat actually feels like, and why the noise around young players can be damaging.
