Griffin was Ireland captain during the most turbulent period in Ireland women's rugby history after the team failed to qualify for the 2022 Rugby World Cup.

This led to the women's team having a fallout with the IRFU after comments from the former director of the women's game Anthony Eddy.

Now Griffin she is back to her first love in ladies Football.
