Maggs played for Ireland because Brian Ashton, who was Irish coach at time, came to Bristol to watch flanker David Corkery and was told by Ralph Knibbs (Bristol's player-manager), that Maggs had a grandfather from Limerick. He was then called up to the Irish development tour to New Zealand in 1997.[1] He made his international debut for Ireland against New Zealand at Lansdowne Road on November 1997 and played at the 1999 and 2003 Rugby World Cup.
