Simon Zebo will be missed on the pitch by Munster next season but he will seemingly be missed off the field by his teammates too.
The Ireland international will move to Paris later this summer after signing for Champions Cup finalists Racing 92 and Munster have released a video to farewell Zebo, Gerbrandt Grobler, Robin Copeland and Dave Johnston, all of whom will be leaving the club next season.
The video contains mostly highlights of each player’s best moments at Munster but does include some behind-the-scenes footage of Copeland and Zebo joking and heckling their teammates.
Zebo leaves Munster after eight years with the province and he said after the PRO14 semi-final loss to Leinster last weekend that the defeat would hopefully not mark his last game for the club.
“Ah, I’ve had incredible, incredible memories,” he said. “Some incredible days in Thomond Park, playing away from home in France and getting amazing wins and just going to tough places.
“The most important thing is the friendships and the brotherhoods we’ve started and hopefully, I’ll never lose.
“Hopefully it’s not [my last game]. But if it is, then my heart is probably down at the bottom of my stomach. It’s not an easy thing to think about. I don’t want my last Munster game to be losing to Leinster so hopefully, it’s not my last.”
