Peter O'Mahony's wife says she was as surprised as anyone that he made it back from New Zealand in one piece following Ireland's historic series win over the All Blacks.
After losing the opening Test match, Andy Farrell's side incredibly defeated the All Blacks in the remaining two games as New Zealand fell to their first home series loss in 28 years.

O'Mahony could be seen linking Aki as cheers of Ole Ole Ole rang out after the 32-22 win.
The pair could also be seen speaking to two police officers before Aki chased after O'Mahony with a large piece of chicken that he got off a supporter.
The 32-year-old's wife Jessica was clearly delighted as she was reunited with him after a month apart.
The couple could be seen enjoying beers as they soaked up the sun.
Posting to her Instagram followers, Jessica wrote: "I’m as surprised as you that Pete made it back to Europe in one piece. Anyway- handed over full custody of the three kids to him!! Yay cheers to me!"
O'Mahony fought back tears at the final whistle on Saturday before giving a powerful post-match interview.
He told Sky Sports NZ: "That [crowd noise] says a lot, behind me. You know, it's never been done before - to win here, to get a series win. It probably wasn't something you thought about, as a youngfella. But now, there will be youngfellas at home who will dreaming of playing for Ireland and winning over here.
"It will have been done before. It won't be the task that it was. It will never been taken away from that group. That they are the first to do it. Not only one win, but to win a series here."
He added: "We always believe we can win. We know the work we put in. It's an honest group of people. An incredible group, at that.
"We're all very lucky to have incredible backing at home, from our families and those that aren't here. We're all good friends. Our coaches, too. These days are made by groups of people. Not just here but in the background, and folks at home as well. It means a huge amount to us, and them."
"As I said, for the kids at home, a new path has been made for them."
