Simon Zebo: I'm happy to stay at Racing - even if it means not playing for Ireland

'I don't think I'll be picked unless there's a lot of injuries because I haven't been talking to anybody in Irish rugby for a long time. I think the door is closed for now'

Simon Zebo disagrees with Irish rugby's 'unwritten rule' that has shut the door on his international career while he plays club rugby in France - but insists that he is still happy at Racing 92.

Following his two-try performance in the Champions Cup final defeat against Exeter, a number of rugby people in Ireland – including Ronan O’Gara in his Irish Examiner column - have suggested that a policy of only selecting players playing for Irish clubs for the national side should be relaxed to allow Zebo to return to the fold.
