Simon Zebo was the latest victim to take the questions from the kids of the country in the latest OTB Kids Takeover, in association with Now TV.
Zebo was following in the footsteps of Brian O'Driscoll and Lee Keegan in fielding questions from some of the next generation of Off The Ball listeners.
Some of the next generation may have had some assistance from their relatives who were clad in blue and not red, like Rebecca aged five...
It's @SimonZebo in the hotseat for #OTBKidsTakeover answering the questions.
We're guessing Adam & Sarah are from Cork...@NOWTVIreland

Milo asked Zebo who his sporting rugby hero was, he went with someone he played with, Joe Rokocoko. While Adam And Sarah got to the very essence of Zebo's Corkonian core.
They asked the Racing full-back, "Was there anything in Paris better than Cork?" If there was an award for the Corkiest Cork question ever, that was probably it. They didn't leave an address, there was no need, everyone knows.
"No," was Zebo's emphatic answer of course, "As you know, Cork is the best place on Earth, actually. Paris comes pretty close. I'd say the weather would be the only thing you notice, we have a tropical climate down in Cork but Paris edges it a bit."
The questions came thick and fast at Zebo who managed to avoid several landmines as the kids of Ireland asked who was better Ronan O'Gara or Johnny Sexton, he said he preferred playing with Finn Russell.
While questions about his decision to move to Paris knowing he would end his international career focused on the positive aspects of both Paris and the joy he had during his Ireland career.
