A promising Louth Gaelic footballer, Rob had a big decision to make, but thankfully he chose to go the rugby route. His Leinster debut was in 2005 and he also represented Ireland at schools, U19 and ‘A’ level before earning his first senior cap in the summer of 2007 against Argentina. Rob is a very mature player who has a dynamic boot to compliment his explosive pace and power. A member of the 2009 Grand Slam team he is a certainty under the high ball as proved during his impressive outings on the 2009 Lions tour.

An injury picked up during Ireland's 2010 Six Nations encounter against France, kept Kearney out of the England game. However he made good the recovery and came on as a replacement for injured Gordon D'Arcy against Wales.
