MUNSTER WINGER SIMON ZEBO touched down in Australia and, like most Irishmen who arrive in Oz, ignored jet-lag to hit the beach.
The Cork native, who was called into the British and Irish Lions squad as cover for the injured Tommy Bowe, was met at the airport, in Newcastle, by members of the Lions backroom staff and media manager Dave Barton.

Zebo, who played in Ireland’s weekend win over the US Eagles, will not feature in today’s game against a Combined Country XV but will hope to make the matchday 23 for Saturday’s game against the New South Wales Waratahs.
