DUBLIN (Reuters) - Ireland hooker Rory Best is expected to return from injury in time for the start of the Six Nations in February after he underwent successful surgery on a broken arm, his province Ulster said on Tuesday.

Best scored Ireland's second try in an opening 20-minute blitz against New Zealand on Sunday but left the field soon after holding his right arm. The All Blacks came back from 19-0 down to hand Ireland a heartbreaking last-gasp 24-22 defeat.
