O'Gara, who has enjoyed success in France, which has included two Champions Cup titles with wins over Leinster in the finals, has been among the big names linked to the job.

(L-r) Cian Healy, Peter O'Mahony, and Conor Murray will call time on their careers in green when the Six Nations competition ends on March 15th.

Ireland's Peter O'Mahony said it was great to see a commitment to ensuring everyone benefited from the success of each tour.

The 25-year-old made his international debut in the first match of the Andy Farrell era.

Ireland’s bonus-point success was their largest winning margin away to France.

Peter O’Mahony will become only the 10th Irishman to earn 100 caps on Saturday.
