Darren Cave: Rory Best will become ‘fantastic’ Irish captain

Fit-again Ireland Darren Cave says that his club skipper Rory Best will make a superb captain for the national team.

Cave, who will be in Ulster’s do-or-die Champions Cup line-up against Oyonnax tomorrow following six weeks on the sidelines with a shoulder injury, says Best has been the go-to player for years.

“I think Rory has been one of the main reasons this club has turned itself round from when I started playing,” said Cave, who unfortunately will not be under his command, after missing out on Joe Schmidt’s 35-man Six Nations squad.
