Ex-Munster star relishing his Leinster renaissance

STEPHEN KEOGH has only one real gripe with life in Dublin since his move from Munster to Leinster – the traffic!

Otherwise, his career is experiencing few obstructions. Things are going according the plan with lots of first team football, and impressive performances at that.

Indeed, in last week’s historic encounter against Ulster at Lansdowne Road, Keogh was named as man-of-the-match and came agonisingly close to securing a bonus point. He was satisfied, but isn’t fooled by awards of this nature. “Somebody has to be picked out as man-of-the-match, but usually it’s someone getting it off the back of the guys around him. I benefited because Jamie (Heaslip) and Keith (Gleeson) did a lot of the spadework,” he said.
