'Rugby is always fun when you're winning games, isn't it?' says Aki happily. 'When you're losing games, it's not as fun.'
Nobody on the Ireland team, starting from where Bundee Aki received the ball ahead of the crucial second try last Saturday, would have scored from there.
Running in a straight line along that left-hand touchline and with his mind on the corner, he smashed into the remaining sassenach with such for that he was in control of the collision and could reach out and score. Who was of a mind to remind us Aki , Gibson-Park , Lowe Finlay Bealham not born in Ireland. Oh dear...
"My job is just to try to fit in well with the squad, do my job, and whenever I get the opportunity to do things and play the way we want to play, I take it with both hands. "They've got attacking flair all over the park, the likes of Darcy Graham, Huw Jones, Duhi van der Merwe, Finn Russell who runs the ship there and their no9s are sharp no9s and their back row as well is dangerous.
Maybe the idea of Aki standing as a winger will catch on, that scoring from nowhere will have caught the Scots attention and a decent bet they have spent time coming up with some sort of a plan to combat it."I think Sam obviously did all the hard work there, drawing in those two players, with Hugo Keenan. I think once I saw the try line I had to make sure I tried to get there.
