Who are the 10 most-used players in the Andy Farrell era? Hugo Keenan is top of the list:
HUGO KEENAN IS the metronome of Andy Farrell’s Ireland team and one of the most obvious changes since the last World Cup.
Keenan has started 30 of Ireland’s 35 Tests since Farrell took charge, amassing 2,301 minutes out of a possible 2,800. It’s quite remarkable consistency and durability. Garry Ringrose, Johnny Sexton, Tadhg Furlong, James Ryan, Peter O’Mahony, and Josh van der Flier would surely be in there. Robbie Henshaw could nudge ahead of Bundee Aki at number 12, but Tadhg Beirne would be most people’s pick ahead of Iain Henderson now.
Gibson-Park has made 19 starts since his debut in 2020 and his skillset is perfectly suited to how Ireland want to play. Outside him, 38-year-old Sexton remains the heartbeat of the team and will be crucial to Irish World Cup hopes. Dan Sheehan is the current starting hooker and one of the best in the position in the world, while Rónan Kelleher would likely be viewed in that bracket but for a string of frustrating injuries.
