My Take
What draws me to Jack Conan is how unglamorous his greatness is. A 193 cm number eight, he does the heavy lifting that rarely makes highlight reels, yet earning two British & Irish Lions call-ups tells you exactly how valued he is by people who know the game. Coming out of Dublin and anchoring Leinster and Ireland, he embodies the workhorse archetype I always end up admiring. He may never be a household name in Japan, but for anyone willing to watch closely, Conan is the kind of player whose worth reveals itself in the trenches rather than the spotlight.
Overview
