Mick Fitzgibbon

Michael Joseph Fitzgibbon is an Irish former rugby union international.
Fitzgibbon, who attended Rockwell College, is a native of County Limerick, but played his provincial rugby for Connacht. A flanker, he captained Dublin [University Football Club|Trinity College] in the late 1980s and won All-Ireland trophies with his club Shannon during the 1990s.
Capped six times for Ireland [national rugby union team|Ireland], Fitzgibbon appeared in all four matches of the 1992 [Five Nations Championship] and both Tests against the All Blacks on that year's tour of New Zealand. Described as "one of Ireland's best 'pound-for-pound' tacklers", he performed well in Ireland's narrow loss to the New Zealanders at Carisbrook. All six of his Ireland caps ended in defeat.
Fitzgibbon was also a Gaelic footballer who played some senior games for Limerick. On his return from the 1992 New Zealand tour, he featured in Ballysteen GAA's West Limerick Junior "A" title win.
