"With all the stuff going around Zeebs, he has stayed level-headed and calm, and nonchalant to [not] let things get to him. He loves Munster and he's passionate about the team. He's also sad for leaving. we are happy for him - we're going to miss him and we're sad for the club - but we're so happy for him. He's a guy that deserves things like that. "It's just the game. The professional game, where it's nobody's fault. We just can't afford that and he can't say no to an offer like that. Nobody's upset with him, and you could see today that he's fully committed to the cause."Erasmus also revealed how the 35-times capped Zebo reacted to his omission from the Ireland squad. "No, really not" he responded when asked if Zebo expected to be in the Guinness Series squad. "I think he expected that. I think the policy is quite clear, that guys from the outside are not going to make the team. I think, logically and if you look at Joe Schmidt's plans, he's building towards a World Cup and if he selects guys now that he is not going to play in the World Cup, that is besides the point. I don't think there's any hard feelings. as I said, I think Zeebs is pretty level-headed about that." Erasmus says he never discussed selection policy with Schmidt and only found out about it on Thursday. "I'm sure Joe must have discussed it with Simon," he said. "I'm pretty sure. Again, I'm saying Simon accepts it. He knows he is moving on at the end of the season so he's not at all bitter or wanting to prove people wrong. He just wants Munster to win, which we didn't tonight... so we've got some work to do."

Brilliant footage shows Toulon doing training drills on Dublin street ahead of Leinster loss
This is great! Ahead of their Champions Cup semi-final against Leinster this afternoon at the Aviva Stadium, Toulon were seen training in a rather unusual spot. Instead of a field or the gym, they were filmed on a Dublin street doing maul drills, while others causally tossed the ball around. It is unclear exactly where […]
