Irish speedster Jordan Conroy is gearing up for an exciting experience as he heads to Fiji to compete in the McDonald’s Coral Coast 7s tournament later this week. Conroy, who has faced Fiji’s national sevens side during the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series, holds the Fijian players in high regard, describing them as some of the toughest and most naturally gifted opponents he’s ever confronted.
When the chance arose to participate in a local tournament in Fiji, Conroy jumped at the opportunity, eager to test himself against the raw talent of local players. He expressed his anticipation for what he believes will be an electrifying display of rugby that is both “pure, raw, physical, and prideful.”
Known as the “Tullamore Tornado,” Conroy has made a significant impact in the World Rugby Sevens Series, frequently ranking among the top try-scorers, and has leveraged his athletic background to perform exceptionally well on the wing. His upcoming experience in Fiji not only promises to challenge him further but also allows him to immerse himself in the local rugby culture, which is renowned for its flair and skill.
This tournament will surely be a thrilling experience for Conroy, and it highlights the vibrant rugby community that Fiji has cultivated over the years, suggesting a bright future for both local and international players in the sport.
