Probably the most consistent player not just full back in world rugby for the past 4 years. His fitness has stood to him from his 7's background and his defence is absolutely perfect for a guy whos not the biggest. His ball carrying has no weaknesses and he's a very balance runner off both feet and almost always get by the 1st defender. And then his biggest strength is under the high ball. He just dominates every other full back when he plays them for both Leinster & Ireland. Jimmy O'Brien the 2nd choice backup to Keenan is a very similar player to him tol. Both played Gaelic football growing up so the skills from that game have carried over with them.

Some of these compilations can disappoint. You know it's a great player but often the actual compilations can be weak in proof of it. But with this, it shows it all. Every skillset a fullback should have is stuffed into the first 3 or 4 minutes. Keenan is the real deal. Lethal fast brain at work is the most impressive thing I see. The little stalls in full flight to make sure he's making the correct decisions. "Will I pass it, will I hold on a bit longer, will I wrong foot this guy and then pass?" It's watching his brain work so calmly that impresses me most.

I know what u mean but I think he's a 15 with a great skill set not a 10 playing 15. What's underrated is how a player sees the field. A 15 sees the whole game in front of him, the best ones pick their spots from that and strike, just like Keenan. But put him into 10, closer to the breakdown, with his centers and back 3 behind him... I'm not sure you'd get the same high standard of play. Just the way I see the game....
