O'Mahony recognised the superfan in the stands and brought the Six Nations trophy to her to lift and gave her his winner's medal. Jennifer is a regular at Irish training sessions at Carton House and is a huge sports fan. O'Mahony's kind gesture to give away his winner's medal serves to underscore the depth of appreciation Schmidt's players and staff have for the support they have received throughout their successful Six Nations campaign. Ireland leapfrogged England into second place in the world rankings during their third Six Nations triumph in five years. Rob Kearney and Rory Best became the first men in Irish history to win two Grand Slams, while Ireland are now on a record run of 12 consecutive Test victories.
