Rob Kearney: Injuries broke my heart last year

Rob Kearney has opened up on his disastrous 2015/16 season, admitting the drip feed of injuries left him heartbroken and even uncertain as to whether his playing career had found a cul de sac.

The 30-year-old full-back managed only 10 appearances for Leinster last term and failed to take the field once for Ireland after the World Cup due to a hamstring issue that plagued him at regular intervals.

“Last year broke my heart,” he said.
