Terrible news, what a blow for him. He was pretty much nailed-on to start as well.

Feel very sorry for him, he was playing very well and was a cert for the test team.

Terrible news for him, feel gutted for him. An honest player with a huge appetite for work to go with his ability.

C@ck!

The man is on red hot form, obviously he's been building up and this is a terrible blow for him. In the last year he's been great for Ireland. There aren't many hookers could keep Best out of the first 15 but I think he did on merit.
B0ll1x.

Terrible news for the man (and the lions).

Big match from Munster.Don't really understand the criticism of their so called ugly rugby.I love open running rugby but I also admire the collective mastery of this Munster team.What a beautiful machine with that ruthless side to them.
