Munster skipper Peter O'Mahony admits he is gutted for Dan Leavy, his former provincial rival and Ireland back row colleague who has been forced to retire due to injury at the age of 27.
The Leinster star, who is a Grand Slam and Champions Cup winner, announced the news earlier today and O'Mahony said that the Blues and Ireland have lost an "incredible" player.
"I certainly want to start off by saying I'm gutted to hear the news for him," said O'Mahony in Munster's press conference today ahead of Saturday's European clash with Exeter Chiefs.
