PETER O'Mahony's wife Jessica joked "I'm glad I gave him three mini-mes" as their youngest accompanied the rugby hero while gardening. Rather than getting down and dirty like usual, on this occasion the 35-year-old was hosing down his patio surface. In a follow-up video, it was a case of Wreck-It Ralph as the four-year-old left a trail of destruction behind him including knocked over garden pots while trying to reverse out of a tight spot. Watching on from the other side of their sun-kissed garden, Jessica quipped: "Sort of reminds me of me." Peter has explained that finally getting the chance to spend more time with his spouse and kids is a big factor in him opting to hang up his boots at the end of the season. Prior to his last outing at Thomond Park he reflected: “I’ve spent the last kind of 15, 16 years on the road a fair bit. "I’m living in Cork, so I commute to Limerick. I spent a lot of time in Dublin with Ireland. “So I need to spend a bit more time at home with young kids who are getting to the age now where they’re asking questions why I’m going out the door again. "It’s time to give a bit back. They’ve sacrificed a lot for me.” There is one thing he will not miss about rugby. He admitted: “The Cork to Limerick road is something I won’t miss. "It’s a torturous b***ard road. The Government should really pull their thumb out and sort out that road. “I can’t understand it, but it’s too late in my career for that to be sorted. "I’d say anybody who has to travel that road would be in the same boat. It’s awful.” O’Mahony will decide in time whether a coaching route is an option. The Cork man said: “Look, I don’t know, I never say never, but at the moment I need to take a break from rugby." The Reds have at least managed to scrape their way into the URC play-offs thanks to a pair of home wins against Ulster and Benetton respectively. But if they are to give their former captain the Hollywood ending his career deserves, they will have to do it the hard way. First up they will have to defeat the Sharks in South Africa on Saturday May 31. Since they are going into the post-season as sixth seeds they'll then likely face another tough away day in South Africa unless seventh seeds Edinburgh upset the Bulls. That semi-final match-up will play out on Saturday June 7. A potential final versus top seeds Leinster could then unfold the following Saturday.
