Leo Galvin is an Irish former international rugby union player.[1]
Galvin is a native of Taughmaconnell, County Roscommon, and was educated at Garbally College in Ballinasloe.[2]
A second-rower, Galvin played his senior rugby with University College Dublin, Athlone and Connacht.[3]
Galvin played once Ireland, when Argentina visited Dublin in 1973, but the match wasn't considered a full international until the IRFU retrospectively awarded him a cap 50-years later.[4] This made him the first player from County Roscommon to make a capped appearance for Ireland.[5]
