Ireland trio O'Mahony, Healy and Murray to retire after Six Nations
Three Ireland stalwarts will call time on their international careers after the Six Nations.
Peter O'Mahony, Cian Healy and Conor Murray will all retire from the international stage next month.
Ireland, who are chasing the Grand Slam, lead the Six Nations standings with two fixtures remaining, including a blockbuster clash with France on March 8.
O'Mahony, Ireland's former captain, and Healy, the nation's most-capped player, will retire from rugby at the end of this season.
Murray will continue playing, but is to pursue opportunities abroad rather than staying on with Munster.
The trio have helped Ireland to five Six Nations titles.
In a video posted to Ireland's social media accounts, the trio said: "We've got some news to share: this will be our last Six Nations in green.
"It's been an unbelievable journey, but the job isn't done and we've a big couple of weeks ahead.
We have some news for you. #TeamOfUs

"The three of us have done some very special things together but we're not done yet.
"Your support over the years has been incredible and has never gone unnoticed, so thank you and we hope to see you in the Aviva [Stadium] one last time next weekend [against France]."
After taking on France, Ireland round out their Six Nations campaign against Italy on March 15.
Ireland will be without Garry Ringrose for their huge clash with Les Bleus in Dublin, after the centre received a red card in the win over Wales last week.
