Zebo building a case for another Munster man in Farrell's back-three 

Back-three operator Zebo quelled any major injury worries, insisting next week's trip to see a specialist about a flair-up of a pre-existing knee niggle is merely to obtain a different opinion.

Simon Zebo has excelled for his province of late, putting together a collection of stellar performances that put him right in the frame for a Six Nations call from Andy Farrell. 

A season blighted by injuries has been put on the back burner and - despite a niggle or two keeping him out short-term this campaign - Zebo looks like a man full of the flair and exuberance that has endeared him to both the Munster and Ireland faithful over the years.
