Penney still backing injury-hit Zebo to make Aussie tour with Lions

Munster coach Rob Penney has backed Simon Zebo to tour Australia with the Lions this summer.

Penney is convinced Zebo’s broken foot won’t hamper his chances, saying he has already done enough to earn his place on Warren Gatland’s squad.

Although Zebo will miss the Heineken Cup quarter final against Harlequins – based on medical assessment the winger faces a ten week lay off – Penney believes the youngster has plenty of time to show Gatland he has what it takes.
