Ireland's Alison Miller announces retirement from international scene

Irish rugby player Alison Miller has announced her retirement from international rugby.

Her glittering career for Ireland started in 2010 and includes a Grand Slam in 2013 as well as a semi-final appearance at the Women’s Rugby World Cup the following year.

In 2017 the winger from Laois suffered a double leg-break, but she managed to come back for that to play for Ireland again less than a year later.

Announcing her retirement, the 34-year-old said: "It has been an honour and a privilege to play for my country for the last ten years, however all good things must come to an end."
