Irish star makes fan's day with heartwarming gesture

Ireland flanker Peter O’Mahony gave his medal away to a big fan after helping Ireland secure their third Six Nations Grand Slam.

O’Mahony found the young Ireland fan Jennifer Malone in the Twickenham crowd on Saturday, before presenting her with his medal and letting her hoist the Six Nations trophy.

The moment was shared on social media by Jennifer’s sister, Rachel, and has been met with an overwhelming response.

Jennifer is a regular at Ireland training camps, paying the team a visit on Thursday as they prepared to take on England. British and Irish Lions star O’Mahony reportedly told Jennifer’s mother Donna that she received the medal because “She’s one of us”.

I don’t think she had anything to do with this article. It’s not like her to make this fuss. She’d rather the focus be on the actual team.

Maro Itoje: What was said as Lions fell 'far behind' on scoreboard

with weeks of playing together, planning together and living together it is hard to argue that the Lions have had less opportunity for cohesion than Australia.


Did they brought a coach with them ? I don’t think so. Good players, bad team

'I thought it was a brilliant clear-out, honestly - didn’t you?'

There did appear to be something of a " Hollywood" but the officials didn't buy into it and no " Oscar" was awarded.

You see those clean outs (on back of neck) often which is kinda weird they’re apparently allowed when you see how strict they are being w head to head

Would you rather she have a sook about it and be bitter and jealous on social media? This is pure class, and other players could learn from it (e.g. Hoskins Sotutu).

The photo evidence backs up Joe’s claim. Tizzano was on the ball first - before Morgan hit him on the neck. Despite Tizzano’s over-acting, the hit was not legal and the series was robbed of a decider last match.

You can’t read JW. Scroll up and down a few times and see who wrote +13.


The team the ABs will need to worry about is France. Particularly if you meet on the way to the final.
