Bordeaux-Begles and Racing 92 target Ireland and Munster star

Munster and Ireland winger Simon Zebo is reportedly considering a move to France with his current contract expiring at the end of the season.

It has been suggested in The Rugby Paper that the flier has had his CV circulated around France, which has led to considerable interest from a host of Top 14 clubs, including Bordeaux-Begles and Racing 92.

Bordeaux, who currently have two senior wingers in their squad, are also targetting England wingers Christian Wade and Marland Yarde.

In the past Irieland internationals have been reluctant to move abroad in the prime of their careers, but their have been exeptions with Johnny Sexton and Ian Madigan having high profile switches in recent years.

Some nevertheless believe Zebo isn’t that interested in the switch and this is just his advisers looking for leverage in their negotiations with Munster.
