IRFU player management should stop stars leaving, says Best

Rory Best believes Ireland’s meticulous player management should stop many more top stars following Simon Zebo’s lead in moving to France for next season.

Munster wing Zebo’s Test career has stalled on 35 caps after his decision to join Racing 92 next term, with Ireland opting not to select overseas-based stars.

Best insists his 12-year, 104-cap Test career could already have been over without careful management from Irish rugby bosses.
