EVER SINCE SIMON Zebo executed that cheeky backheel flick against Wales in the 2013 6 Nations, there has been an influx of pretenders trying to import flashy skill into traditionally physical games. Sometimes it can go wrong, but Essendon Bombers defender Courtenay Dempsey channelled the spirit of the Munster winger perfectly to pull off this bit of razzle-dazzle.
Ok, so it is fairly obvious that he didn’t mean to do that, but it still looked brilliant. And in fairness, it is not as if Zebo had drawn this gem up on the training ground with Declan Kidney before kick off.
