Peter O'Mahony is staying in Ireland
Ireland and Munster backrow Peter O'Mahony has signed a two-year extension to his IRFU contract keeping him at Munster until 2023.
O'Mahony made his Ireland debut in the Six Nations against Italy in 2012.
He has won 74 caps and captained his country on eight occasions.
A Lions tourist in 2017, he also captained the Lions in the opening Test of the series against New Zealand.
The 31-year-old has represented Munster on 141 occasions and was named captain of his province in 2013.
Currently serving a three-match ban after being sent off in the opening Guinness Six Nations defeat to Wales, the flanker faces huge competition to retain his place in the Ireland back-row in face of competition from the likes of Rhys Ruddock, Tadhg Beirne, Caelan Doris and the up-and-coming Gavin Coombes and Ryan Baird.
