The Irish fullback is unassuming but hugely important in every facet of Ireland’s plans to beat Scotland
Scotland will be wary of him. He scored a beautiful try against France earlier this year, a training ground move in which Finlay Bealham popped up the ball for the fullback to accelerate through a gap. But Keenan still had to accelerate beyond the fingers of the covering Romain Ntamack and Thomas Ramos to score the try.
Pore over the Irish matches and Keenan is usually doing something pivotal, something that effects the outcome of the game, and often with his defensive work overshadowed by the majesty of his attacking play. Keenan is not known as a flyer but is fast and is not known as a big hitter but is a brave and accurate tackler. An unassuming, head-down character, he’s hoping the crowds that rocked up to Stade de France will arrive on Saturday week. He’s counting on it and wants to amplify the message that fans help players, who would like more of what he experienced in the biggest he has played.
