Ireland captain Peter O’Mahony will decide in the coming weeks if he will retire from international rugby after leading his country to a second successive Six Nations title.

Andy Farrell’s side retained the championship crown thanks to Saturday’s scrappy 17-13 success over Scotland in Dublin.

Reports emerged before the game that veteran Munster flanker O’Mahoney was set to call time on his Test career following a 105th and final outing in the green jersey.

Asked about his future, the 34-year-old told ITV: “I don’t know. I have a few chats to have with family and stuff the next couple of weeks and if it was my last one it’s not a bad one to go out on.”
