The two first almost came to blows in the same stadium back in 2019.
The flanker was off the pitch when Sinckler had a few words for Ireland’s number 6. O’Mahony was having none of it, grabbed his opponent and promptly shoved him away, much to the delight of the home fans.
He was then was caught calling the England prop a “stupid c*nt”, which was later investigated OFCOM.
Fast forward to 2023 and the two could be seen having a heated exchange at the conclusion of today’s game in Dublin.
In the clip, you can see Ireland captain Johnny Sexton look to interject before things got anymore heated.

“Out of his depth”- Four England players who now need dropped, and who should replace them

RUCK 5/10: “Caught out defensively again. Poor.”
Telegraph 6/10: “Late hit on Sexton put England under pressure and he was left on an island chasing Van der Flier before Sheehan’s try. Better here, but was it enough long-term”
Planet Rugby 6/10: “The number eight didn’t quite rise to the occasion again, and while he did have some success with his carries, he still isn’t fronting up physically.
Rugby Pass 4.5/10: “With Zach Mercer back from France when England will next play he needed a big game following last week’s anonymity, but it didn’t materialise. Deserved kudos for holding Johnny Sexton up over the line off a penalty tap but otherwise struggled to impose himself in the first half. There was no impact carrying and his defence was exposed for the opening Irish try, getting flummoxed by the inside pass when trying to provide protection in the first channel away from a maul..”
Mail Online 5/10: “Challenge on Johnny Sexton gifted Ireland penalty in first half but did share of defending.”
Replacement: Zach Mercer
