Rory Best will play one last game of professional rugby as he lines out for the Barbarians against Fiji at Twickenham on November 16th.

With 124 caps for Ireland to his name as well as nine British and Irish Lions test to add to his incredible total of 218 games for Ulster, Best has had an amazing career for both club and country.

There’s one more big dance for @IrishRugby legend Rory Best ??

The veteran announced earlier in the year that he would be retiring from the sport come the end of the Rugby World Cup, as he led Ireland one last time as captain. However, in what was thought to be his last ever game his men in green bowed out of the tournament with a humiliating 46-14 loss to the All Blacks. 

Although he will now have the chance to bring the curtain down on his glittering career on a high as he bids to win one final game. 

Current England head coach Eddie Jones, who is preparing for the Rugby World Cup final against South Africa this Saturday, will be in charge of the Baas Baas side in the once off game. 

It is yet another honour for Best to add to his collection as he prepares to hang up his boots for good.

As for the Barbarians, following their match against Fiji next month they will travel to Brazil in Sao Paolo four days after facing the Flying Fijians,  before finishing up their Autumn Tour with a clash against Wales in the Principality Stadium on the 30th of November.
