Keenan Earns Spot in Ireland's Sevens Squad for Olympics.

Ireland has selected full-back Hugo Keenan for their men's sevens squad at the upcoming Paris Olympics this summer.

Leinster back Hugo Keenan and French superstar Antoine Dupont are two standout names from the XVs team selected for the July tournament at the Paris Olympics.

Connacht wing Andrew Smith is also among the 12 players chosen for Ireland's sevens squad. Both Keenan and Smith recently rejoined James Topping's squad after being part of the sevens program earlier.

Harry McNulty, a double Olympian having competed in Tokyo, will captain the Ireland Men's team, while Lucy Rock leads the Women's team in their debut Olympic appearance.

The men's squad, after a successful World Series season finishing second overall, is gearing up for the Stade de France matches from July 24-27. The women's tournament follows from July 28-30.
