Leinster v Toulouse will feature some of the finest exponents of the 50/22 via IrishTimesSport
Like any fullback especially, Keenan has to be constantly alert to both the potential rewards and punishments.
“It’s exciting that 50/22s are in because I suppose it adds a bit more of an emphasis on the back field and getting it right. Fullbacks appreciate that I think. Even the crowd getting behind them every time and it’s something that they enjoy, and it brings a big lift to the stadiums as well.” “They’ve got the most kick metres in the Champions Cup,” Keenan acknowledges. “They just choose their time to counterattack, choose their time to go from deep, but they’ll enter into those kick battles with Ntamack and Ramos back there and Dupont or whoever it is, they’ve got a lot of kicking options. They’re definitely doing it a bit more.”
At least Boehly’s scattergun spending spree and malfunctioning club has to make Keenan appreciate being part of a well-run sporting organisation?
