Between 1965 and 1968 Doyle won 20 consecutive caps as a flanker. He made his international debut against France at Lansdowne Road.
He toured Australia with Ireland in 1967 and South Africa with the British Lions the next year.
Doyle also coached Leinster to Interprovincial Championship success five times between 1979 and 1983.
