The Ireland Women's rugby team continue their November internationals this weekend as they take on Japan.
After a 20-10 victory over the USA last weekend, they'll be saying goodbye to coach Adam Grigg and now captain Ciara Griffin after she announced her decision to retire from rugby.
And after earning her 40th cap in last week's RDS Arena win, Griffin said that hanging up the boots was not an easy decision.
“It’s something I haven’t come to lightly. It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a while. Obviously after the events of Parma and the [unsuccessful World Cup] qualification process, it gave me time to reflect at home with my family. I had a talk about things, where do I want to go next,” Griffin said.
“That time at home, things like that, getting time with your family. It just made me re-assess different things. Now I have the opportunity that I can finish at home, on home soil. Finish on my own terms. That has been my reasoning.”
