Leslie John Griffin (14 September 1922 — 13 March 2003) was an Irish international rugby union player.[1]
Born in Arklow, County Wicklow, Griffin played for Dublin club Wanderers and was capped twice for Ireland during their triple crown-winning 1949 Five Nations campaign, replacing Albert McConnell in the front row for the final two fixtures, against Scotland at Murrayfield and Wales at Swansea.[2] He was a reserve the following season, but didn't add to his caps.[3]
