Speaking about the launch, Best said: “It’s a busy day but it is exciting, it feels like it is the start of the Six Nations and we don’t have long to go for the first game. It’s a fantastic tournament that you really want to be part of and to play in.

The Ireland squad are in camp in Portugal this week as part of their build-up to the first game of the Championship against England on Saturday, February 2. Best feels that the time away is an important factor in bringing the squad together as a unit.

“We get away and we have no other distractions except the rugby and hanging out with each other and getting back together as a team,” he explained. “We knocked lumps out of each other over Christmas but it is really important to get back into the team and focus on preparing together for the next few weeks.”
