Chris Keane (born October 25, 1978 in Drogheda) is a former Irish rugby union player. Keane began his provincial career with Connacht where he received 90 caps (65 Celtic/Magners League, 24 ERC Challenge Cup), the first coming against Cardiff Blues in a 6–3 victory. Keane made his Leinster debut on October 5, 2007 against Llanelli Scarlets in a 23–52 Magners League defeat. On December 15 he made his first Heineken Cup appearance against Edinburgh at Murrayfield. Again it was a match that Leinster lost (29–10). He was released at the end of the 2010 season and subsequently retired from Rugby.[1] Keane has been recognised by his country at sevens, colleges, and 'A' levels.
He is currently co-manager of Skerries Rugby Club with John Murphy.[2]
