Leinster v Saracens: ‘These are the games you want to be involved in’

It will be some game for Hugo Keenan to make his European debut in this Saturday but much like every challenge the Leinster back has faced he appears set to meet this latest step up in class with a confidence belying his inexperience.

Keenan, 24, more than coped with his promotion to the Leinster back three in the winter of 2018 and picked up where he left off this season as filled the full-back’s jersey in the absence of both Rob Kearney and Jordan Larmour through the 2019 World Cup and 2020 Six Nations.
