Collingwood-contracted AFL player Mark Keane has been named on the Cork bench for Sunday’s Munster SFC semi-final against Kerry.

The 20-year-old, who made his debut for the Melbourne club in August and recently signed a new two-year deal, is a surprise selection given the recent opposition of AFL teams to their Irish players playing competitive Gaelic football.
