Ciara Griffin: ‘I give everything to the game, I give everything to my jersey’

This time two years ago, Ciara Griffin had yet to be capped by Ireland. Seventeen caps later and the Munster and UL Bohs flanker was this week named Ireland captain.

Q: You got engaged, had your birthday and got the Ireland captaincy recently. Is it fair to say it’s been a dream month for you?

A: (Laughs) Yeah, it’s been a busy few weeks. I got engaged over Christmas to my partner, Damien, which was a lovely surprise. Then, my birthday’s the 10th of January and the day after I got the call to offer me the captaincy. It was a whirlwind two or three weeks!
