Simon Zebo relishing showdown with ‘world-class’ Racing

Another must-win European night in Thomond Park beckons and Simon Zebo can’t wait for the opening whistle.

Sunday’s draw with Castres means Munster can’t afford slip-ups in their bid to escape Pool Four and make the last eight of the Champions Cup. Their opponents this weekend are a star-studded Racing side with a Munster legend in their management ranks. The stakes couldn’t be any greater. Not that Zebo is complaining.

“Racing have a world-class back line, pace all over it, poach threats, big hitters, good aerially, slick hands, the full arsenal,” Zebo stressed.
