ANGRY O’MAHONY SEEING RED

- BY MICHAEL SCULLY

JOHNNY SEXTON wants Leinster’s derby victory to “kick-start” their season.

And for his part, Peter O’Mahony admits he takes “huge offence” at the suggestion Munster lacked intensity at the Aviva Stadium. Blues skipper Sexton said: “There were lots of positives and plenty to work on as well.

“We’re going to have to go up a couple of levels against one of the best teams in France next week.”

Meanwhile O’Mahony took exception to former Ireland internatio­nal Reggie Corrigan’s line of questionin­g afterwards.

Working for TG4, the former Leinster and Ireland prop asked O’Mahony if Munster had brought the right amount of intensity to the 23-17 defeat.

Asked about it later, O’Mahony said: “I think it’s a silly question, essentiall­y calling myself and my teammates out and questionin­g do we want it enough.

“For someone to question that I’d take huge offence.”
