Munster's great showman Simon Zebo intends on bowing out with a bang

Zebo insisted there were no regrets, though it is clear he feels his talents could have been better utilised at Test level with Ireland.

Whenever the time comes for Simon Zebo to finally bid farewell to Thomond Park in the next few weeks, the Munster star will do so with “zero doubt” he has made the right decision to call time on a glittering career.

If there are regrets, they are that his talents, and exuberant personality, were not showcased more than the 35 times he was picked for Ireland, but the 34-year-old is otherwise satisfied that not only has he enjoyed a career with Munster, Racing 92, the national team and the British & Irish Lions that his self-confidence as a younger man would have predicted but also that it will end on his terms, in blistering form and with silverware in his sights.
