Another Audition For Simon Zebo


By Gary Watton
September 4 2015

Munster's Simon Zebo is being presented with another opportunity as full back, after he was preferred ahead of his provincial team mate Felix Jones earlier in the week for the Ireland World Cup 31. Zebo will now be tested at full back again, in the cauldron of Twickenham, where he and his fellow players will have their last major workout ahead of the imminent tournament, due to begin in a fortnight. The team selected is a strong one, and it would be good to end the warm-up fixtures on a high. Besides, the Oirish could never get bored of defeating the English. The team is as follows:

15 Simon Zebo (Munster); 14 Tommy Bowe (Ulster), 13 Jared Payne (Ulster), 12 Robbie Henshaw (Connacht), 11 Dave Kearney (Leinster); 10 Johnny Sexton (Leinster), 9 Conor Murray (Munster); 1 Jack McGrath (Leinster), 2 Rory Best (Ulster), 3 Mike Ross (Leinster); 4 Devin Toner (Leinster), 5 Paul O'Connell (Munster) [captain]; 6 Peter O'Mahony (Munster), 7 Sean O'Brien (Leinster), 8 Jamie Heaslip (Leinster).

Replacements: Richardt Strauss (Leinster), Tadhg Furlong (Leinster), Nathan White (Connacht), Donnacha Ryan (Munster), Chris Henry (Ulster), Eoin Reddan (Leinster), Ian Madigan (Leinster), Darren Cave (Ulster).
