His father Terry Kennedy represented Ireland at rugby union [15-a-side] and won 13 caps between 1978 and 1981. (World Rugby, 01 Jan 2021)
:
He represented Ireland in rugby union [15-a-side] at international junior level and was part of the team that were beaten 45-21 by England in the final of the 2016 World Junior Championship in England. He has also played rugby union [15-a-side] at national club level in Ireland for St. Mary's College. (SportsDeskOnline, 08 Jul 2021; irishtimes.com, 11 Jun 2021; World Rugby, 01 Jan 2021; LinkedIn profile, 01 Sep 2020)
:
He was part of the academy at Irish rugby union [15-a-side] club Leinster, but he took up rugby sevens with the national squad during his second year in Leinster's academy and at the end of that year decided to make the switch permanent. (the42.ie, 27 Jun 2021)
:
"I was enjoying the sevens a hell of a lot, the travel around it, and the freedom so I was like, if I'm going to be honest with myself, I play rugby because I enjoy it. Obviously it's great if you can make a career out of it for a bit, but I want to be playing something I enjoy and the sevens was that for me. So it made a lot more sense to just fully focus on that. At the end of that second year at Leinster, it was very much a mutual agreement that it just made a lot more sense to go full-time with the sevens and not even have to mess around with being torn between the two. It suited both parties." (the42.ie, 27 Jun 2021)
