Broph is another newcomer to the Oxford Squad this year. He is studying for an MSc in Nature Society & Environmental Policy having joined us from Trinity College Dublin where he completed a BA Hons in Business and Economics.

Broph brings with him an extensive rugby CV having represented Leinster at U19, U21 and senior level as well as Ireland U21’s. Additionally he is a keen athlete listing his main event as the discus at which he has been an Irish National finalist.

In his spare time Broph enjoys organising events for OURFC’s infamous underworld members “The Kyoto 5” as well as arranging date’s for his team-mates which he usually insists on attending.

This enormous Irishman has settled immediately into the Oxford squad with some outstanding performances both on and off the field during the Japan Tour, which was hardly surprising as he suggests that, “get busy living or get busy dying” is his favourite outlook on life.
