Ireland back Simon Zebo to stay at Munster
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.

As article says re Japanese Final. Todd Blackadder up against his old mentor/ coach at Canterbury and the Crusaders , Robbie Deans. Both legends in this part of the world. Richie Mo’unga, ( another legend), playing brilliantly for Toddy’s team.Great to hear.
Go to commentsNo doubt Razor will want to kick the 2024 campaign off with a decisive selection of the top match fit players to insure his selection as the appointed coach has maximum impact. We the supporters and critics will settle for nothing less because historically it is what we have become ingrained and accustomed to. With that in mind and the distinct fall from grace of his beloved crusaders we will expect him to stamp his mark in the same way he left his old post.
