Rory Best hopes his link-up with the Seattle Seawolves in America s Major League Rugby will help him decide if he s ready to let the game dominate his life again.
The former Ireland captain has taken on the role of skills coach with the club.
A few months ago, a chat with Fermanagh man Adrian Balfour, co-founder of the Seawolves, led to Best starting in an advisory role, passing on advice remotely to the team s coaching staff.
Last week a reshuffle saw director of rugby Pate Tuilevuka step up to become interim head coach with Best having a more prominent role alongside another ex-Ulster and and Irish forward Allen Clarke, who will act as technical coach. Clarke had been director of rugby at the Dallas Jackals but they ve opted out of the 2021 season.
