Special Guest
Peter O'Mahony
Peter O’Mahony is regarded as one of the greatest Irish rugby players, known for his grit, leadership, and huge impact in the back row.
After coming through Presentation Brothers College and Cork Constitution, he broke into the Munster squad and was made captain at just 22, going on to play nearly 200 times for the province and helping them lift the 2023 United Rugby Championship.
For Ireland, he made over 110 appearances between 2012 and 2025, winning five Six Nations titles, including Grand Slams in 2018 and 2023, and captained Munster, Ireland, and even the British & Irish Lions. He took over the Ireland captaincy after Johnny Sexton retired and led them through the 2024 Six Nations before hanging up his boots in 2025.
Away from rugby, he’s married to Jessica, they have three kids together, and he’s got a well-known passion for gardening.
