Simon Zebo bullish about Munster’s chances heading into crucial period

Munster legend Simon Zebo expressed confidence that Munster will travel to Belfast with momentum following a 26-22 bonus-point victory over the Bulls at Thomond Park on Saturday night. Fly-half Charlie O'Shea earned Player of the Match honors after scoring a try in each half during his first competitive start for the province. Diarmuid Kilgallen and Alex Kendellen also crossed for tries to secure Munster's first victory of the United Rugby Championship season.

Speaking on Premier Sports, Zebo praised the young squad's mature second-half display ahead of an away inter-provincial clash against Ulster and a Champions Cup fixture with Racing 92. The victory was somewhat marred by an eighth-minute leg injury to prop Michael Milne, while Munster also announced that chief executive Ian Flanagan will step down at the end of October.
