Despite the emotional significance of winning his 100th cp for Ireland for Peter O’Mahony, he remained steadfast in defending his teammates when the match concluded.
In his post-game interview with Virgin Media, O’Mahony commented that Scotland had not delivered on their confident pre-game rhetoric.
Scotland has a history of making bold claims in the lead-up to matches, much like they did before this particular game. However, as has frequently been the case, they were unable to substantiate those claims with their on-field performance.
O’Mahony evidently took pleasure in witnessing Scotland once again fall short of their lofty expectations.

Every home nations best and worst player on Super Saturday
Below, we look at the best and worst player for all the home nations on Super Saturday.
WALES
Best player: Tommy Reffell
Wales Online wrote: “Finally got his chance and put in a huge shift. Won four turnovers turnovers, put in 19 tackles, and gave Wales a real physical edge at the breakdown. A performance that has given Warren Gatland plenty to think about.”
Rugby Pass wrote: “Tackled like a rabid sheepdog. The Leicester Tiger man was a standout performer, causing problems for Georgia at the breakdown and winning three crucial turnovers. His work rate was exceptional.”
Worst player: Tomos Williams
Wales Online wrote: “Williams didn’t have a great platform at times with Georgia doing their best to put the Cardiff number nine under pressure. Wasn’t as much of a threat with ball in hand as usual but kicked well out of hand. However, Wales lost their shape in attack too often and the half-backs have got to take some responsibility for this.”
