Simon Zebo's new club and eye watering wages revealed
By Online Editors
When you see the figures laid out in black in white, it is hard to do anything other than agree with Simon Zebo's decision to leave Munster.
Many may feel that at just 27-years old and with a World Cup approaching, it was the wrong time to leave but the differential in offers was astronomical.
According to SportLocker, Munster had offered Zebo a contract worth €350,000 and when you take into account match fees and different bonuses this figure rises to somewhere in the region of €400'000.
While it appears that Racing 92 have offered Zebo a contract worth €700,000, as well as accommodation and a car.
Realistically the IRFU could never have competed with such an offer and also sheds light on why Zebo is willing to leave Munster and potentially put his Irish career at risk, with Ian Madigan's career being the obvious cautionary tale.

It is a good argument to keep the Rebels for one more year but also isnt this just opening the door as well for keeping them beyond 2025. If they can create some sort of financial stability in the next year and if their performances lift as they have this season then how would RA even cull them after that? It might be the most cost effective decision at this stage and perhaps many people are guilty of keeping relationships going because of the cost to decouple but then again when does that ever work out well?
Go to commentsDear Ben Smith you are a genius! God please become the next all blacks coach that can take on the mighty BOKS. Your rugby acumen is second to none - imagine your dads sperm bounced as unfortunately as that oval ball did….we would not be blessed with your presence. Just as the all blacks were missing a man you too are missing a chromosome for 80% of your life, so your insights are not only profound but ring true from your own experiences. Just as the TMO interfered with citing an illegal pass I am sure your local authorities interfere with your illegal passes you make on women - How dare they!!! God forbid that rugby be officiated fairly. You are the right man for the job. Next all blacks coach is here ladies and gentlemen Miss Ben Smith (He/She/They/IT)
