Lions star Best urges for more from Ulster

British & Irish Lions hooker Rory Best admits club side Ulster need to keep improving if they are to walk away with silverware this season.

Best – who toured with the Lions in Australia in 2013 – will lead Ulster into their final domestic game of the campaign against Glasgow Warriors on Saturday knowing a win could help secure a home semi-final.

Ulster drew 23-23 with Munster last time out, while prior to that they beat Leinster 26-10.

But the 32-year-old Best insists his teammates must not stop trying to get better if they are to walk away with the title.

“We have improved game on game and we know we need to keep on improving,” said Best.

“The Leinster game was good for us, we played well in the conditions, we did what we had to, we were very professional how we went about that.

“We showed against Leinster what we can do. That was a professional performance, probably our best this season.

“We talked all year – and people thought I was mad when I was saying – that we are building something here.
“We are training well and it is going to take a bit of time and hopefully by the end of the season it will start to come.”
