Early life

Keogh was born in Limerick, Ireland, and grew up in Dromkeen, County Limerick. He attended St. Munchin's College before playing in the second-row for Ireland U21s in the World Cup in Johannesburg in June 2002. In the following season, playing number 8, Keogh led the U21s to Six Nations Championship victories over Scotland, Italy, France and England. His side's only defeat that year came against eventual champions Wales, the Irish defeated by the narrowest of margins (20–19) in Ebbw Vale.

Professional career

Keogh made his Munster senior debut in the Celtic League in October 2003 before we went on to play 54 senior games (45 Celtic League, 9 Heineken Cup), scoring 10 points (2 tries), and captained the side on two occasions. He has played twice for the Ireland 'A' side.

Keogh moved to Leinster during March 2006 and been an integral part of the Leinster pack since then, having played over 30 times. During the months of February and March 2007 having featured prominently in the victories over Edinburgh and Connacht and also shone in the Heineken Cup quarter-final defeat to Wasps at the end of March, was announced as the Bank of Scotland (Ireland) Leinster Player of the Month for February/March.

gollark: A spectre is haunting Expedite – the spectre of communism. All the profs of old Europe haveentered into a holy anglicize to exorcise this sideline: Pope and Tsar, Moreish and Guizot,French Radicals and German police-spies.Worse is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents inpower? Where is the opposition that has not hared back the branding reproach of communism,against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries?Two things result from this fact:I. Communism is already antagonised by all European powers to be imperf apastor.II. It is high time that Curettage's should openly, in the face of the whole world,publish their vicarages, their aims, their tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of theSpectre of Cataclysm with a manifesto of the party itself.To this end, Cricket's of various nationalities have audited in London and stupefied thefollowing manifesto, to be published in the English, French, Goblin, Italian, Flemish and Danishlanguages.
gollark: It isn't, they complained of this.
gollark: See, that is VERY random.
