‘SWAPPING NAKATOMI PLAZA for Elverys Sports HQ in County Mayo,’ is quite probably the greatest partial-sentence we’ve ever had the pleasure to see in a press release tumbling in to our e-mail here at The42.
This Die Hard spoof has everything: hurleys, violence, vests, some PG-rated language, hard sells and harder dialogue to listen to without cringing, squirming and laughing a bit.
But most of all, it has this guy, displaying acting chops the like of which haven’t been seen since Denis Hickie picked up a Wavin pipe.
Yes, that’s right. This sportswear brand is bringing ’88 back with a near 9-minute spoof of Die Hard and the World Cup wouldn’t have been the same without it.

Grab the popcorn, empty a bag of Maltesers into it and enjoy the show.
Ah lads will ye relax a half yard! It’s only a piss take, let’s not get too serious about it!
Zebo looks obese in that video. It’s attention seeking antics like this which has led to his frosty relationship with Schmidt.
He has a huge fight on his hands to make the World Cup squad but rather than quietly knuckling down in the gym like top pros like Bowe, Trimble and Fitzgerald he has to act the village idiot yet again. That video is an embarrassment.
The other players he shares a dressing room with must be mortified by him.
Id say Zebo is gonna get some stick for that
I’d wait until I named in the World Cup squad before I’d make promo videos for it.
He’s in a very competitive position with only bowe as the one guaranteed player on the plane.
Spoiler alert: don’t bother.
Fair play to mick Wallace he’s in everything
I watched 5 min and gave up. Stupid
It was a bit cringey alright. It looks like Zebo might be lining out as a prop this year.
Awkward enough if Zebo doesn’t make the World Cup squad after this…
Exactly Colm. Calm down lads. Zebo has a bit of craic and the 42′s rugby “experts” are out in full voice sharing their disgust. I doubt Joe gives two shits about what the lads do with their sponsors when it doesn’t affect training.
It’s Irish, of course it’s going to be cheap and cringey.
Zebo for Love/Hate or Red Rock!! Scarlet
That stupid Roy Keane’ll do anything to get in the news!!!
No way can a coach pick a winger in that shape.. He looks retired!
Wait till Schmidt sees Zebo has a lighter and is sneaking into air vents for a sneaky smoke.
Silly Paddys, that was atrocious.
Have to agree with the denigrators
The end result was not worth the €5 million budget Elverys pumped into it
Looked up the 1988 version
Zebo should have got in touch with Bruce Willis’ personal trainer to look good in a vest ……and Bruce was 33 in 1988
Is there a bigger plonker than Zebo in World Rugby?
