Conor Joyce is a seriously inspiring person, passionate about rugby and promoting mental health in equal measure.

Conor excelled as a young rugby player, playing for Ireland under 18s, 19s and 20s and went on to have a successful career playing for Ulster, Jersey and Doncaster.

In his spare time, Conor and his brother grew a successful enterprise called Noggin which raises money for mental health charities across the UK and Ireland.

In this interview, Conor discusses becoming the youngest player to play in the league from any Irish province, what it was like to enter an Ulster squad packed with internationals and compete with Stephen Ferris for a place, what caused him to move on from Ulster to prove himself elsewhere, his thoughts on the current squad and much more.
