We’ll miss Simon Zebo when he goes to France.
From next season onwards, Simon Zebo will be playing his club rugby at Racing 92. Munster rugby will lose one of their most marketable players, a man who often gets people talking once he takes to the field.
The Cork man scored an excellent try in the first half of Munster’s Champions Cup pool 4 game against Leicester Tigers at Thomond Park.
It all started with Peter O’Mahony doing some predictably brilliant work in the breakdown. He grabbed himself a turnover on the ground which sent Munster into attack mode. Ian Keatley saw some space in behind the Tigers line and delicately chipped it through where Zebo caught it on the bounce before sliding in for a try.

It was a wonderful team move that was converted well by Keatley, but the appreciation of the try itself was shortlived. The discussion quickly turned to Zebo’s shoulder shuffle celebration which received a mixed reaction.
Some folks loved it.

That’s what rugby’s all about.
