As the dust settles on Ireland’s bruising defeat to France in Paris on the opening night of the Six Nations, Andy Farrell’s men will be licking their wounds on the flight back to Dublin.

Friday’s post-match review will be a tough one, and former captain Peter O’Mahony – once a leader in that group – will now be analysing the opening defeat from the pundit’s chair as he begins life as part of Virgin Media’s rugby coverage.
