Ireland back Simon Zebo to stay at Munster
By PA
Ireland international Simon Zebo has signed a new two-year contract to stay with Munster until the end of the 2023-24 season.
The former British and Irish Lion back rejoined the province last summer following a three-year spell at French club Racing 92.
Zebo is Munster’s record try scorer, having registered 62 times in 148 appearances since his debut in 2010, including two in four this campaign.
The 31-year-old, whose new deal was announced on the club’s website, has been capped 35 times by Ireland and was part of the Lions’ 2013 tour to Australia.
After returning from France, he was recalled to his country’s squad in the autumn but was not selected for Dublin wins over Japan, New Zealand and Argentina.
Diarmuid Barron, Jack Daly, Ben Healy, Keynan Knox and Jeremy Loughman have also agreed new deals with Munster.

There is a major story unfolding around Gleeson's bar in Booterstown, South Dublin City last night. Beaudy Barrett, DMac and Cody Taylor were there. DMac was supposed to be on the Guinness 0.0 but lets just say it didn't turn out that way.
Hours later, Dmac out cold, head on the table with a long stallagtite of flem and spittle rising and falling with his breathing. There is a video apparently.
The barman barred a staggering Taylor from any more Guinness but Taylor kept pushing past him, pulled a seat up to the Guinness tap and personally pulled himself pints, claiming it was 'celebrity pint pulls mate'.
One of these celebrity pint pulls made a local paper but it's only a matter of time before the real context comes out. Dmac is out of the team for Friday due to breaking 'internal standards', Sititi starting at 10.

I tell you what though, the head knock from Kriel on Hugh jones in the wc that didn’t result in any card was a real mystery with the way things are now.
Also suspect the Boks will be pretty well motivated by glasgows antics in stellenbosch last week and loftus in June…
Should be a cracker hopefully!
