Ireland captain Rory Best is underappreciated, says Rob Kearney

Rob Kearney considers captain Rory Best is the”glue” that holds Ireland collectively however a farewell for him personally and head trainer Joe Schmidt isn’t essential against Wales on Saturday.
Greatest will play his final home game against Wales at the Aviva Stadium on Saturday and will retire from professional rugby after the World Cup in Japan.
Schmidt will step down following the championship following six successful years at the helm, where he’s controlled three Six Nations names.
However, Kearney played down the importance of a.

“Obviously it is very important but it is not in the forefront of the thoughts,” he said.
“Performance is enormous for us this week and even in case you scale the operation, it is putting it into cubes; the first 10 minutes, the second 10 minutes, and so on.
“We really must ensure we’re shooting in any way cylinders for this first week, [of this championship ] so that this weekend is really a very major step for us.
“And then you get to enjoy and feel pleased with giving Joe and Rory the major send-off.”
Best, who played his game for Ulster in May, will get his cap against Wales – earning him the third-highest restricted player in the history of Ireland – supporting Brian O’Driscoll and only Ronan O’Gara.
“It is huge, is not it? And sometimes I think that it will get a bit undervalued,” Kearney stated on Greatest’s leadership before Ireland’s final World Cup warm-up game.
“Some of those momentous victories we have had as a team have been under Rory. He is a brilliant pioneer, he is the glue that brings the team.
“Again, he’s a guy who is training well and I am sure he’s quite excited to get out there and also demonstrate he’s still exceptionally effective at producing big performances, even at his old age”
Ireland returned to winning ways last weekend after they have been beaten by England 57-15 at Twickenham, edging out Wales 22-17 in Cardiff on Saturday.
