Munster back made a memorable comeback this year when she returned to the Ireland side
Ireland international wing Eimear Considine has confirmed her retirement from rugby at the age of 33.
She made her 15s debut at the 2017 Women’s Rugby World Cup and was a key player in the Ireland squad thereafter. Her return to the international arena this year following a combination ACL and MCL injuries, as well as the birth of son Caolán in 2023 was marked by a try in Ireland’s 36-10 victory over Australia in the 150 Celebration Match.
Before playing rugby Considine was an outstanding dual county player for Clare and won an intermediate football title in 2009. ‘I wanted to get back on the pitch’: Motherhood and injury change approach but not the goal for Eimear Considine
