Irish rugby stars enjoy holidays with partners following New Zealand series win

After putting their bodies on the line down in New Zealand, a bunch of Ireland's rugby stars have been putting their feet up and relaxing in various beautiful locations all over the world.

Kiwi native Jamison Gibson-Park stuck around to reconnect with friends and also had to take care of the small matter of getting married. He was joined at the ceremony by another naturalised star in James Lowe.

Reflecting on the big day, the scrum-half said: "Unforgettable day. Thank you so much to everyone that made it so special."

Meanwhile vice-captain Peter O'Mahony reunited with wife Jessica and their kids in the Alentejo region of Portugal.

They've been taking in its vast wilderness judging from the below photos.

His fellow back-rower Caelan Doris has spent some time on the Greek island of Paros.

Interestingly, he's still sporting a bit of a black eye from the final test in Wellington.

In more wedding-related news, two-try hero from the Dunedin test Andrew Porter took this off time to pop the question to partner Elaine.

The pair shared their happy news with a beaming pic in similarly beaming conditions in the southern French city of Nice

Lastly, Dan Sheehan, who had to deputise in the wake of Rónan Kelleher sustaining a shoulder injury in the opening test, shared a class hiking picture from Indonesia.

He captioned the picturesque post: "10k steps in before 5am. Job done."

Skipper Johnny Sexton appears to have been content to rest up at home as the only post he's shared was of his three kids running to greet him at Dublin Airport.

The Irish provincial sides begin their pre-season training in the coming days but the front-line players are going to be given additional time off before launching back into another arduous season for club and country.
