Hugo Keen On Strong Finish To Season

Keenan was on media duty today ahead of Ireland’s clash with Japan in Aviva Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

It’s been a whirlwind of a season for the Leinster man  – picking up 11 caps and four tries since his debut in October 2020 – but he still feels energised for the end of the season tournament.

‘It has been a long season but I’ve felt really involved, it’s been a breakthrough season for me and I still have a lot of energy. I’m really looking forward to the two games. We’ve a few younger lads coming in and getting a chance, not that I’m much older than them, but it’s great to have a few fresh faces around and they bring a real energy.’

Reflecting on the last year Keenan spoke about how he’s enjoyed the experience but hasn’t had a chance to look back too much as he tried to stayed focused on each game.
