Kidney chose the Best man for the job

Rory Best achieves two impressive milestones today against Scotland.

He will surpass Keith Wood as Ireland’s most capped hooker, winning his 58th cap and he will also assume the responsibility of the Irish captaincy for the first time in a Six Nations’ match.

Surpassing your predecessors is a nice little feather in the cap. Becoming captain of a side for the first time in a major international is far more challenging.
