'Extraordinary . . . great fun' Barry Egan, Irish Sunday
Independent 'A wonderful story . . . vivid and comprehensive.'
Stephen Jones, Sunday Times ''Throughout it all though there is a
feeling of warmth for the sport and for others. Above all there is
a sense of achievement . . . Best was never one of the glamour
boys, but he deserves star billing.' Daily Telegraph Rory Best is
widely-regarded as one of Ireland's greatest ever captains.
Entrusted by Joe Schmidt to lead the side that looked on the wane
following the 2015 World Cup, Best's inspirational leadership
skills and abrasive qualities proved to be the foundation stones
for the most successful period in Ireland's history. His first year
in charge saw Ireland complete a hat-trick of victories against the
southern hemisphere 'Big Three', including leading his side to a
first ever victory over world champions New Zealand in Chicago, a
feat that etched Best's place in Irish sporting folklore and ended
the All Blacks' record-winning streak of 18 Test victories.
Ireland's annus mirabilis under Best's captaincy would come in 2018
however, when he led the side to only their third Grand Slam title,
culminating with a famous victory over England at Twickenham, and a
record-breaking run of 12 successive Test victories. When he
stepped down as Ireland captain at the age of 37 following the
World Cup in Japan, his fourth tournament, history will no doubt
also judge Best to be one of their greatest forwards. A
hugely-popular figure across the game, Best finished his career as
Ireland's most capped forward, behind only Brian O'Driscoll and
Ronan O'Gara in the all-time records, and also made over 200
appearances for his province Ulster.
