Bundee Aki not convinced a team’s number is up when its numbers are down via IrishTimesSport
Bundee Aki has an interesting take on playing against teams reduced numerically by red cards, as has been the case in Ireland’s last couple of wins over Italy and England.
“But then obviously, you’re overplaying your hand sometimes, but then you also have to look at it from the other side. Last week’s victory has earned Ireland the chance of winning the Triple Crown. Aki has won trophies with Counties Manakau, the Chiefs, Connacht and Ireland, although he says Saturday’s game is “more about us putting out our best performance”.
Aki’s distribution skills have become more evident in this rebooted Irish side, yet once upon a time there was a theory that Aki wasn’t a great passer, despite plenty of evidence to the contrary, such as try-scoring assists off both hands. A recent example was a deft try-scoring pass to Cian Prendergast in Connacht’s Champions Cup game against Leicester this season that contained such sleight of hand that initially the commentators thought it must have been a fumble and didn’t spot Aki’s subtle lay-off until replayed in slow motion.
