Rugby star to swap boots for wheels in race for research

Rugby player Simon Zebo will be on a different kind of wing this summer as the Irish and Munster star gets his full back behind the Wings for Life World Run.

The athlete has been announced as ambassador for the race, which is in aid of research into spinal cord injury.

Swapping his boots for a set of wheels, Zebo will be driving the ‘catcher car’ during the race.
