Having secured the 2018 NatWest Six Nations title with a game to spare, Best knows only too well how hollow that achievement will feel should Ireland lose at Twickenham on St Patrick’s Day. Ireland, leading by seven, had possession with two minutes to play but kicked and had to defend for their lives as Steve Hansen's men worked the ball from deep. The Irish defensive line stayed a straight as a die during the early stages, not leaving any gaps as Damien McKenzie and Ben Smith probed across the field. Joe Schmidt's men never trailed with Johnny Sexton kicking 11 points and Jacob Stockdale scoring a superb second-half try to deny the back-to-back world champions.The win was all the more impressive given that Schmidt had to cope without frontline men Conor Murray, Robbie Henshaw, Sean O'Brien and Dan Leavy.
