[QUOTE="snoopy snoopy dog dog, post: 302985"] Zebo is indeed with Con. I wasn't really aware of him until last week so I could be way off the mark in my opinion of him. From what I've seen, he has bags of talent. He's blindingly quick, tries to get involved in the action, has a good boot on him, makes his tackles and has dealt with every high ball that has come his way. He seems to have quite a large frame too. The knock on him, from what I've heard is that he doesn't fancy doing the dirty work although my impression is that he does, albeit on limited evidence thus far. With good coaching, he could be an option for his province down the line but the road will be blocked for a while by Johne Murphy, Denis Hurley and Ian Dowling. If he's patient he stands a chance. Butler was marked out as a fantastic prospect a couple of years ago in Rockwell. I think he's starting regularly for Shannon. Denis Leamy is the obvious comparison but I feel Butler may be a slightly less powerful ball carrier yet a more intelligent player who won't tuck the ball under one arm and will look to offload. His defence is very strong. In Butler, Brian O'Hara and Peter O'Mahony, Munster have a backrow with potential to carry them forward for the next 10 years+. A lot was made of the small Munster representation in this squad but I think a few years from now they'll have just as many "graduates" from this team as Leinster will. [/QUOTE]
