Rory demands Best possible outcome from back-to-back Aironi clashes

IRELAND hooker Rory Best has demanded maximum points from Ulster’s next two Heineken Cup fixtures with Aironi if the province is to repeat last year’s run to the quarter-finals.

The Ulstermen aresitting in third place in Pool 4 after two rounds, having beaten ClermontAuvergne at Ravenhill but losing at Leicester Tigers.

Best, one of the stars of Ireland’s run to the World Cup last eight in September and October, believes his province will have to repeat last season’s group-stage double over Aironi to have a hope of making similar progress.
