So there was to be no fairytale ending for Simon Zebo at Munster with the winger playing his last fame for the province in the weekend’s 16-15 loss to Leinster.
Zebo’s move came at a cost however as he was cut adrift from the Irish squad that would go on to win a Grand Slam.
In an interview with Donal Lenihan, Zebo said that he was not bitter by his omission and hasn’t ruled out a return to the national side in the future and reckons he can still force his way back into contention.
I’m going to give everything I have.
I’m going to make sure I play really well, do my best to help Racing, but also get picked for that World Cup in 2019. If not, then, I’ll wait for 2023.
