Simon Zebo’s try celebration against Leicester had everyone talking

We'll miss Simon Zebo when he goes to France.

From next season onwards, Simon Zebo will be playing his club rugby at Racing 92. Munster rugby will lose one of their most marketable players, a man who often gets people talking once he takes to the field. The Cork man scored an excellent try in the first half of Munster's Champions Cup pool 4 game against Leicester Tigers at Thomond Park. It all started with Peter O'Mahony doing some predictably brilliant work in the breakdown. He grabbed himself a turnover on the ground which sent Munster into attack mode. Ian Keatley saw some space in behind the Tigers line and delicately chipped it through where Zebo caught it on the bounce before sliding in for a try. https://twitter.com/RobCross247/status/939592940833435648 It was a wonderful team move that was converted well by Keatley, but the appreciation of the try itself was shortlived. The discussion quickly turned to Zebo's shoulder shuffle celebration which received a mixed reaction. Some folks loved it. https://twitter.com/reginaroxyod/status/939590974367588352 https://twitter.com/timboohig/status/939590719387389953 https://twitter.com/spintokid/status/939590619755925515 Some folks didn't love it. https://twitter.com/mauloverpodcast/status/939591010228809728 https://twitter.com/ronanmcmanus/status/939590984538775553 https://twitter.com/one_mrs_k/status/939590469423652864 The vast, vast, vast majority saw the funny side. https://twitter.com/cocker/status/939591073260859392 https://twitter.com/Aoifs123/status/939590876132773891 That's what rugby's all about.
