Ireland men and women in action at the World Series Grand Final this weekend at Atletico Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium
fullback has been named in James Topping’s 13-man squad for the World Series Grand Final event in Madrid, taking place at Atletico Madrid’s Metropolitano Stadium this weekend. Keenan previously earned 12 caps in Sevens across a two-year period, playing a role in Ireland qualifying for the World Series event in 2019. He is set to miss Leinster’s URC run-in and Ireland’s tour of South Africa.
“It’s an incredible opportunity for the Sevens players. I know a lot of them have done it already in Tokyo. I played a small part in getting them qualified for that, so I suppose back then it was tough to leave that behind. You’re always tempted to see if it’s possible.” After Ireland finished the seven-leg regular season in second place, behind league winners Argentina, they qualified for the event in Madrid which features the top eight teams in the world.
