WATCH: Rory Best happy to end a remarkable haunting statistic
Bast last won in the Ulster jersey in December 2016 against Connacht.
In fairness to the talismanic Ulster and Ireland player, he had only played 10 games for his Province since then, International call-ups, injuries and player welfare management curtailing his appearance since that win over Connacht.

Best also scored a try and his performance overall deservedly saw him pick up the Heineken man of the match award.
