Hugo Keenan included in Ireland sevens squad

Leinster and Ireland full-back Hugo Keenan has been selected for the Ireland sevens side for this weekend's tournament in Madrid.

Keenan, who has previously played sevens rugby, has been selected with the Olympics in France on the horizon.

He is likely to now miss Leinster's URC play-off run, and the Ireland tour to South Africa in July.

Connacht's Andrew Smith has also been selected for the tournament in Madrid this weekend.

Should Keenan miss the South Africa tour, it will cause further selection issues for Andy Farrell, with Connacht winger Mack Hansen not ready to come back from injury.

It had been hoped he could return for Connacht in their game against Leinster on Friday night, but he has been ruled out of the must-win game for Connacht.

Hansen has not played for Connacht since their win over Munster on New Year's Day against Munster.
