Cian’s progress through the ranks has been rapid. He first came to the attention of Emerald Rugby readers in May 2005 when we featured him as a ‘Young Gun’. Cian made his Leinster senior debut exactly two years later in 2007 after impressing the management with his performance in the Irish U20 Grand Slam winning team. Cian has been capped at Irish Schools, U19 and U20 level. He played for Ireland ‘A’ against the England Saxons last February.
Cian earned his first senior international cap against Australia in Croke Park on Sunday 15th November as part of Ireland's Guinness Autumn test series. On debut, he was solid in the set piece but his ability to carry ball and break down defences was outstanding. He was called into the Ireland starting XV against South Africa on 28th November 09 where he earned his second cap, before going on to start in all of Ireland's games for the 2010 Six Nations
