PETER O’MAHONY’S wife Jessica joked “Ralph has made it to Netflix” after posting a video of her son reacting to his cameo in the Six Nations documentary.
The second season of the doc focused on the 2024 Championship, which Ireland won for back-to-back titles.

Peter O’Mahony captained Ireland to that honour, having succeeded Johnny Sexton as skipper following his retirement after the RugbyWorld Cup.
The Netflix doc showed a number of clips of Ireland players and fans celebrating, including O’Mahony and his young son Ralph.
Jessica shared a precious video of Ralph watching his celebrations with his dad, commenting: “Ralph made it to Netflix”.
O’Mahony started the game on the bench, with Caelan Doris filling in as captain.
Simon Easterby – who is filling in as interim head coach during Andy Farrell‘s secondment with the Lions – will be hoping to build on that result when they face Scotland.
He said: “It was tough and physical and what you expect from an Ireland-England game.
“The first half, it was the first round of the Six Nations…it’s always going to be a bit of an arm wrestle so we had to find a way.
“I thought we played well in the first half, we didn’t quite get our accuracy right which is why they were leading.
“But we cleaned it up in the second half. The guys coming off the bench benefited from the work done by the guys who started, it was a tough attritional game.
“We know we need to be better next weekend. It sets us up for next week but it will be incredibly tough.”
The Tartan Army have not beaten Ireland since 2017 when they inflicted defeat on the side then-coached by Joe Schmidt.
The scrum-half said: “That’s the case for a lot of teams now. We’ve kind of been near enough to the top of the rankings for a while.
“I know myself that if I’m coming up against a quality side you want to put your best performance out there. Next week will be no different.”
Scotland view themselves as potential champions and the Leinster star agreed: “One hundred per cent. They’re a classy side.
“They’re playing good footie and they’re stacked full of really good individuals, so it will be a tough challenge. I know it’s been a long time since they won but there’s no reason they can’t.
“But what a place to go and what an opportunity for us to go there and have a crack at them.”

Curtis‘ Heart Rate challenge was the most hotly-anticipated, with theAll Starsand viewers being sent into a frenzy.

Some fans were quick to point out Omar’s fuming expression and were quick to speculate there was more to it.
One said: “No wonder Curtis was the one that raised her heart rate the most, babe was scared for her life. Meanwhile Omar was secretly fuming.”
A second commented: “Omar’s FACE when it was announced that Catherine’s heart rate was raised by Curtis? Note that Catherine also SLAPPED Curtis’s hands onto her bum.”
A third added: “Omar looked pretty p***** off that Catherine’s heart rate was raised the most by Curtis. Maybe they don’t get on.”

A WORLD War Two warship mystery has finally been solved after the wreck snagged on a fisherman’s net.
The Vital de Oliveira had disappeared for 81 years after it was torpedoed by the Nazis killing 100 people.

This war boat had been the only Brazilian Navy vessel lost to the enemy in World War Two when it sank in 1944.
The ship was hit just before midnight on July 19 and took just three minutes to disappear under the night waves.
The Vital de Oliveira had been lost to history for 81 years until a fisherman’s net became tangled in one of the ship’s guns.
This incredible shipwreck was found some 40 miles off shore from the municipality of Macaé, Brazil – around 100 miles north of Rio de Janeiro.
Scientists then used sonar technology to confirm the lost warship had been found.
Lieutenant Captain Caio Cezar Pereira Demilio of the Brazilian Navy, who participated in the survey, revealed how they made this incredible discovery.
He said: “The location and documentation of the shipwreck were conducted using a multibeam echo sounder and side-scan sonar.
“This is essential equipment for hydrographic and archaeological surveys, especially in the field of shipwreck archaeology.”
Although this World War Two wreck has only just been confirmed, these recent fishermen were not the first to come across the boat.
It was first discovered in 2011 by diving brothers José Luiz and Everaldo Pompermayer Meriguete.
They were alerted by a fisherman whose net became stuck to the seabed.
The duo, called in deep-sea diver Domingos Afonso Jório, found the net entangled in a cannon.
They alerted the Navy but the discovery was confirmed 14 years later.
WAR LOSS
The Vital de Oliveira was sunk by the U-861 U-boat.
The German submarine attacked when dozens of men were dozing though their rest shift.
This warships stern was ripped open, and the force of the blast reportedly toppled a “load of wood”, blocking passages that were needed for escape.
Some of the wood would later float to the surface, creating a lifeline for the survivors, who’d faced “strong whirlpools” when the ship went down.
The U-861 survived the war, and was surrendered at Trondheim, Norway, before being scuttled off the coast of Ireland on December 31, 1945.
It’s captain Jürgen Oesten would live to the age of 96, passing away on August 5, 2010.

Car Auctions: How To Nab A Bargain
Car auctions are a way to sell vehicles based on a bidding system with the highest offer securing the deal.
Auctions aren’t restricted to the rich and famous as thousands of cars are sold at motor auctions in the UK each week.
Here’s what you need to know before attending an auction:
Be prepared: Do your research on the car you would like to purchase beforehand.
Check the car: Cars will usually be lined up before the start, so make sure to arrive early to inspect the desired car thoroughly.
Have a back-up: Be ready for disappointment as your desired motor may be sold to someone else and select a few back-ups.
Be realistic: Realise that there won’t be a “perfect” car at an auction and adjust expectations accordingly.
Set a budget: It is easy to overspend in the heat of the moment during bidding. Ensure you have set a budget and do not go over it.
Key phrases to look out for:
‘No major mechanical faults’ – suggests that there shouldn’t be any issues with the car’s drivetrain, gearbox, suspension, or engine.
‘Specified faults’ – the auctioneer will read out specific faults.
‘Sold as seen’ – the vehicle is sold with any problems it may have. The auction company will rarely entertain complaints regarding the mechanical or cosmetic condition of these vehicles after sale.
‘Sold with a warranted mileage’ – The car is being offered based on the report, which confirms the mileage through an independent check.
He told his followers: “We think we’ve been scammed not only once but possibly twice.
“Once by a customer who scammed somebody with their ID to buy a car but the second time quite possibly by the car provider.”
Mike explained how his One Automotive group had advertised a white VW Golf Mk7 GTD for just over £10,000.
An interested driver rang up and promptly offer to buy it and arranged a collection service to pick up the vehicle at Mike’s Leamington Spa base.
Mike admitted that before letting the vehicle go they ran various checks on the buyer’s personal information to process the sale.
Everything appeared to be legitimate and the courier then arrived to pick up the vehicle.
But later, Mike was contacted by his bank who revealed the person charged for the vehicle had disputed the sale.
He explained: “He’s been scammed by somebody who has stolen his ID and stolen his card details and used that to buy a car from me and James at One Automotive.”
Mike finished by offering a warning to anyone selling their car. He said: “If you’re going to sell a car make sure the customer is there in person with ID and with a drivers’ license.
“Check the address, check where they live, and check everything.”

And if that wasn’t enough, nothing is priced at more than £5 – yes, you heard that correctly.
Lola Amuah, a bargain hunter from the UK, took to social media to give her followers a close-up look inside her favourite charity shop, leaving many open-mouthed.
As she stood outside the Save the Children store on Osmaston Road, in Derby city centre, the thrifting fan said: “Nothing is priced more than £5 in this shop.”
And it didn’t take long for Lola to get her hands on a huge haul of purse-friendly finds, including a stunning Zara blouse for just £2.

Top charity shop tips for bagging a bargain
Ross Dutton has been a manager for Crisis's charity shops for four years and currently runs the charity's Finsbury Park shop in London.
Choose your area – As a rule of thumb, the posher the area, the better quality the clothes that are donated.
Don’t hang around – If you see something you like, buy it, as it’ll likely be gone when you come back
Look out for cut-off labels – Some of your favourite high street stores will have deals with local charity shops to donate stock that isn’t sold during their own sales. Often part of the deal is that they need to cut the labels off the clothes.
Stay at home – While some charities have their own site, like Oxfam and Crisis. many also sell from dedicated eBay stores, such as British Heart Foundation and Scope. You won’t get the range of bargains that you would get in a physical store, but if you’re looking for something specific it may be worth checking online too.
Social media users were stunned by the ‘brilliant’ prices and were eager to express this in the comments.
One person said: “Great prices.”
Another added: “That first Zara shirt is gorgeous. I’m so jealous.”
