Simon Zebo’s magical kick and gather

Ireland managed to defeat Wales 30-22 in the two teams’ Six Nations opener on Saturday, 2 February 2013, but one of the most magical moments came from Ireland winger Simon Zebo.

After a firm chargedown from hooker Rory Best, the Irish frontrower distributed out wide to Jamie Heaslip, who through a pass behind Zebo.

Zebo managed to backheel the ball back towards his reach, regathered and set up the phase which then results in a try by Ireland prop Cian Healy.

Zebo was amongst the standout performers, and grabbed a try himself after some slick hands from the Irish backline.
