JOANNA COOPER savoured one final getaway 'before I'm knee deep in nappies' as her November due date approaches. She went to familiar territory as she'd split her time between London and Dublin before settling down with rugby ace Conor Murray . While in the English capital she caught up with friends as they treated themselves to coffee dates and brunches.
When she'd returned to Ireland she shared a photo album from it while laughing: "Quick wee London trip before I’m knee deep in nappies xxx." Jessica O'Mahony, wife of Irish captain Peter , was among the bowled over replies as she commented: "Gorgeous darling". Joanna and Murray wed in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony in Portugal in June 2023.
In May of this year they announced they were expecting their first child . They enjoyed one last couples trip last month to Adare Manor before their lives change forever. Of course on a more mundane note, their 'last bit of R&R' also alluded to Conor being on the cusp of returning for yet another gruelling season with Munster and Ireland.
The 35-year-old is now one of the old heads for club and country having made his provincial debut in 2010. They weren't alone either as they caught up with Conor's club and international teammate Tadhg Beirne . There was no sign of POM there to complete the Munster old-guard link-up though.
Interestingly, Beirne was this week officially named as O'Mahony's permanent replacement as club captain . Following the announcement the 32-year-old spoke to MunsterRu.
