As a national paper's slogan says

I don't think anyone here really needs a lesson from you on that subject. Heaslip has 93 Irish caps, 5 Lions caps and a host of medals, but his inclusion still irks many, many of the self appointed best fans in the world despite another really good performance. As for Zebo, we all know if he was a Leinster player, he'd be despised. Looking at himself on the big screen, the celebrations, constantly re-adjusting his shorts to show whatever the black item of clothing he wears underneath is. I don't care about any of those, nor do I care about Heaslip's headphones, sandals or earrings. But that's how it is. A lot of people get really pissed off about nothing.
Zebo is a really good player and he's heading to NZ this summer IMHO. I get the feeling he's a good tourist too, and we know some coaches like that. I have no inside knowledge but I would say he's a positive influence on camp and on tour.
