PETER O’MAHONY joked “she would break my heart” after his wife Jessica’s mum said he looked like David Beckham.
The former Ireland and Munster flanker was suited and booted up for a day out on Friday.

This led to Jessica videoing him to her Instagram Story and revealing the compliment her mum had given him.
She said: “My mum said that Peter looks like Beckham.
“He hasn’t stopped talking about it.”
O’Mahony did not look best pleased at being recorded, nervously smiling, trying to cover the camera with his hand, and then just putting his hands over his face.
The 35-year-old remarked: “I’m warning you” to Jessica before asking: “who are you sending this to?”
When the mum-of-three was finished with her anecdote, O’Mahony joked: “She would break my heart.”
The family is back in Ireland after a “magical few days” visiting Disneyland despite the crowds being “bananas”.
Wife Jessica had previously shared how they’d touched down in Paris “just in time for the European heatwave”.
And despite this meaning it turned out to be a more physically draining few days than was anticipated, they still had a blast overall.
While reflecting on the holiday as a whole Jessica reckoned that if they were to visit again, they’d aim to do so in either April/May or September/October to avoid such roasting temps.
She also recommended a Marvel and Spiderman section which Peter loved due to his “very competitive” nature.
Perhaps her most important tip, however, was to purchase as many fast pass tickets for rides as possible given that crowds are “bananas” in the height of peak season.
All in all, a few days frolicking around Disneyland seems to have been an ideal way for Peter to ease into retirement after playing his last-ever match in South Africa on June 28 for the Barbarians.
For Irish rugby en masse, the bulk of supporters’ focus is on how the Irish contingent fare as the British and Irish Lions tour of Australia trundles along.
And speaking of France and Irish rugby titans, Ronan O’Gara happened to accidentally provide the highlight of Tuesday’s demolition of Queensland Reds from the Sky Sports commentary box.
The La Rochelle head coach livened up a forgettable second half by slipping into French while making one point.
The 48-year-old has spoken before about the funny moments that often arise while conversing with his children who possess better French than he does.
And his latest language faux pas unfortunately came in front of a far bigger audience while on co-comms.
