Simon Zebo is being connected with a surprise move to London Irish

The recalled winger expired his contract at Race 92 in the summer, and the option for an additional year was not used by the French Top 14 outfit.

However, the coming arrival of Gael Fickou made the departure of the 31-year-old Old inevitable.

Zebo spent three seasons at Racing, scoring 22 tries in 53 games.

A move back to Munster has been heavily played for him, with Zebo still dreaming of playing in the Rugby World Cup 2023 back in France.

"I'd love to do it," he said of Munster's return earlier this year, "But sometimes you don't get those cards.

"I surely love alive in Paris, I would not be happy every day and my family is happy too. There is a lot to be gained from that decision.

"The 2023 Rugby World Cup is there but I might be too old to be so weak!"

The numbers could still allow for Zebo's return to Leeside, with players like JJ Hanrahan, Darren Sweetnam, and retired Billy Holland all leaving their salaries at the end of the season.

"Zeebs is a smart player and we wish him well," said Munster coach Johann van Graan earlier this month, without getting a chance to return.

If the Munster movement does not happen, then the London Irish lurks.

Their rugby director is the man who gave Zebo his first international game - Declan Kidney. They are also coached by Les Kiss, with Zebo working with Ireland. Former Irish nationals Sean O'Brien and Paddy Jackson are currently on the run. The London Irish did not deny the link, according to Rugbyrama.

However, moving to Brentford Community Stadium will permanently banish those World Cup aspirations.
