Ireland recall could soon be on the cards for Simon Zebo, says Farrell

The Corkman is not named in squad for summer tests but is being monitored by the Ireland coach

Not yet but soon. The return of Simon Zebo to Munster this summer could soon be followed by an Ireland recall after Andy Farrell described the Racing 92 star as a great option for Test rugby.

There was no room for Zebo, 31, in the 37-man squad for Ireland’s Vodafone Series of summer Tests against Japan on July 3 and the USA seven days later with the Corkman on club duty as Racing face Ronan O’Gara’s La Rochelle in the French Top 14 semi-finals in Lille this weekend.
