Hugo Keenan is in no mood to give up his run in the Ireland side for the next Six Nations clash with Italy.
Keenan has been a starting ever-present since he was first capped by Andy Farrell against the re-scheduled championship meeting with the Azzurri in October 2020.
That was 18 Test matches ago and such has been the form and consistency of the 25-year-old, his selection and form has been one of the major pluses of Farrell's reign to date.
