Across 35 Test appearances in Rugby World Cup and Six Nations rugby, O'Mahony's output is defined primarily by his defensive work, averaging close to four tackles per match from the flanker position with a single-game peak of 19 — a figure that points to genuine high-intensity defensive performances when required. His carrying numbers are modest in volume, reflecting a role built around contest and collision rather than ball-in-hand metres, though his best carrying displays show he can contribute meaningfully with ball when called upon. Over 900 minutes of Test rugby, his consistency across both competitions underlines a reliable rather than explosive profile at the breakdown and gainline.
