Peter O'Mahony is of the opinion that the current Irish team surpasses any he has previously played in, as they prepare for the Six Nations clash against England.

Under Andy Farrell's guidance, Ireland heads to Twickenham as strong favorites, poised to potentially secure the championship title with a game in hand.

Despite O'Mahony's involvement in four previous Six Nations victories (2014, 2015, 2018, and 2023), he considers the 2024 squad as potentially the finest Irish team of that era.

"Look, I’ve been lucky to play with lots of good players and teams," said the Munster flanker and Ireland captain, who will win his 104th cap in south-west London.

"If I had to nail the colours to the mast I’d have to say yes.

"It’s hard to compare because rugby has moved on and the game is different, but in a short answer, I think it is.

"I think the quality of player, it’s a really, really healthy, good, thought-provoking, enjoyable environment, but obviously the quality of performance and results speaks for itself.

"Hard to compare but yeah, it’s certainly up there anyway."

Ireland are positioned at the top of the Six Nations table having won all their three matches in the tournament.
