Strengths – As useful on the wings as at full-back, Kearney is another of Leinster's young lights shining through. An excellent step and acceleration make him hard to catch from a standing start.
Weaknesses – Very good at running ball back from kicks at full-back, but still learning to pick the right attacking lines at the top level.
Honours in the game – none as yet.
Did you know? Mohammed Ali is his hero, and he once named Tokyo as his favourite city… then confessed he was yet to visit it.
