Jordan Conroy doesn’t demur when it’s put to him that he is in his prime. He’s 29 now, more than a decade on from the day he first held a rugby ball and eight seasons into his unfolding story as a player with the Ireland sevens squad.

Renowned for his turn of pace and a killer finish, Conroy scored his one hundredth try in his World Series career against Australia in the Canada leg of the World Series last March. Plenty more scores have spilled beyond that narrow boundary.
