My Take
Sevens rugby is my favourite version of the sport, all space and speed, and the scrum-half is where its chaos gets organised, so Roche's role for Ireland intrigues me. At 172 cm he's not built on bulk, which tells me his game lives in quickness of foot and sharpness of decision rather than collision. Representing Ireland on the global sevens circuit is a demanding, jet-lagged grind that rewards adaptability above all. I'm always pulled toward smaller athletes who thrive on wits and tempo, proving that size is just one variable. Players like Roche keep the fast, improvisational soul of rugby alive.
