Double-jobbing won’t be a problem for natural leader Keane, says Dunne

Richard Dunne reckons that, for his old team-mate Robbie Keane, the benefits of double-jobbing with Ireland and Middlesbrough outweigh the risks.

”They run smoothly side by side,” says Dunne. “There are a lot of players in the Championship who qualify for us who he can keep any eye on at the same time. So I don’t see that being a problem. He obviously knows there are risks because if it doesn’t go so well, people will be asking why is he still with Ireland. But he has enough confidence to back himself and you have to admire that.
