O'Mahony continues as Munster captain

Peter O'Mahony will continue in his role as squad captain for the coming season.

Commenting on the captaincy Director of Rugby Rassie Erasmus said, "...Peter has stood out as a natural leader on and off the field. From a captaincy point of view I quickly realised there was no need to make any change in that regard."

The 26-year-old, who has been Munster captain for the last three years, did not feature for the province last season after sustaining a knee injury in the World Cup pool clash against France in October.
