Across three U20 Championship appearances as a replacement, Keane has made his minutes count primarily through his defensive work, averaging over six tackles per game and posting 11 in a single outing. His carry numbers are modest, suggesting his primary impact when introduced is to shore up the defensive line rather than carry the ball. The consistency of that tackling output across limited game time points to a player who hits the ground running each time he takes the field.
