Follow Friday: It’s Simon Zebo

Every Friday we’ll point you in the right direction for some of the most interesting sportsmen and women on the Twitter.

SECOND TIME LUCKY Ireland will (keep those fingers crossed!) play France in the Six Nations this weekend.

So who better to follow than a man who, not only has some in-depth knowledge of the Ireland camp, but also has a familial rivalry with the French.

Simon Zebo is more than a lightning quick winger and expert finisher. He also considered turning pro at table tennis after watching Forrest Gump three times in a row.*

Luckily for Munster, that didn’t quite work out.

Unfortunately for his Munster teammates, he must he sated by thrice-daily trips to the big green table with the net down the middle – as it’s known round the Zebo house*.

Something else, you may not have known about the 20-year-old is that he’s Gooner, but he hasn’t always been.

When he’s not beating his team-mates at table-tennis he’s schooling them at FIFA and he can regularly be found tearing it up round Havanas.

So don’t get too close to the man or he’ll make you feel slightly ineadequate at any of your favourite hobbies.

Follow him  from a safe distance on Twitter @SimonZebo. A helpfully straightforward handle
