Six Nations 2025: Ireland’s Peter O’Mahony returns for Scotland game

Peter O’Mahony has been recalled to the Ireland team for Sunday’s Six Nations game against Scotland at Murrayfield.

The Munster flanker, who was not included in the matchday squad for last week’s win over England, is handed his first start since last summer’s tour of South Africa by interim head coach Simon Easterby.

Wing Mack Hansen and tight-head prop Finlay Bealham have been passed fit to start, while Robbie Henshaw replaces Garry Ringrose at outside centre.

Sam Prendergast is again given the nod at fly-half with Jack Crowley to be used off the bench.

Hooker Dan Sheehan and back row Jack Conan are kept among the replacements despite eye-catching displays off the bench against England.

Easterby says Sunday’s trip to Murrayfield presents a “significant challenge” to his side.

“We have taken confidence from the win over England this week and there are undoubtedly areas for improvement,” he said.

“Selection was a real challenge again which reinforces the competition for places. As we approach round two, it’s about improvement and building momentum.

We know that we will need to start the game strongly and meet their physical challenge.”
