24 sata writes about the new signings of Rugby Club Zagreb!
Be sure to read the fascinating article about our new players, Jason Davor Newton and Damir Conci:
“When I told my family back home that I was going to Croatia to play rugby, they were thrilled. And when I got called up to the national team, there were tears — everyone was so proud… That was one of my goals, to make them proud.”
says Damir Conci (18) in fluent English. It’s his first time visiting the homeland of his ancestors.
“My surname is actually pronounced Konsi — it’s Italian. My mother’s maiden name is Šprljan. My grandfather was from Vodice and moved to Argentina in the 1970s, while my grandmother is from Istria.”
The connection with Croatia, he says, has always remained strong.
