Ireland captain Rory Best is underappreciated, says Rob Kearney

Rob Kearney believes captain Rory Finest is the”glue” that holds Ireland collectively however a farewell for him and head coach Joe Schmidt isn’t essential against Wales on Saturday.
Greatest will play his final home game in the Aviva Stadium on Saturday against Wales and will retire in baseball after the World Cup in Japan.
Schmidt will resign following the championship following six successful years at the helm, in which he’s controlled three Six Nations names.
Kearney played down the importance of a send-off for the set.

“Obviously it is important but it is not at the forefront of our heads,” he said.
“Performance is huge for us this week and even in case you scale the operation, it is putting it into blocks; the initial 10 seconds, the next 10 minutes, etc.
“We really must ensure we’re shooting whatsoever cylinders for this first week, [of this championship ] so this weekend is a major thing for us.
“And then you get to love and feel proud of giving Joe and Rory the large send-off.”
Best, who also played his final match at May for Ulster, will receive his cap against Wales – making him the capped player in the history of Ireland – behind Brian O’Driscoll and just Ronan O’Gara.
“It is huge, isn’t it? And occasionally I think it gets a little helpless,” Kearney stated on Best’s leadership ahead of Ireland’s final World Cup warm-up match.
“A number of those momentous victories we have had as a group have been under Rory. He’s a brilliant pioneer, he is the glue that brings the team together a great deal.
“Again, he is a man who is training well and I’m sure he is very excited to get out there and show he’s still exceptionally capable of generating big performancesat his old age”
Ireland returned to winning ways last weekend once they have been beaten by England 57-15 in Twickenham, edging out Wales 22-17 in Cardiff on Saturday.
Six weeks 24, before enjoying hosts Japan, schmidt’s side face Scotland in their World Cup group stage match on September 22.
