    Bundee is great. It's brilliant to see him play his best rugby right now. Ireland look strong and have the confidence, without arrogance, to challenge the All Blacks in the world cup this time.

    All the NZ fans claiming him as one of their own mustn't forgot he wasn't getting a look in over there and took a massive risk coming to Ireland - A great example of a guy completely buying into the culture of a place despite being born on the other side of the world - Awesome to see him get the recognition he deserves !

      Most teams in the world have foreign players. Bundi has been in Ireland 9 years, 9 years of Irish training camps and conditioning. Who feeds Bundi the ball? Every player on the field is just as important. Bundi is a great athlete and we are lucky to have him. What makes a team a great team isn’t just getting a few foreign players and throwing them in. He fits in, they all do. It’s almost like they are where they are supposed to be. James lowe said himself he was never an option for the AB. That’s why he looked abroad. They all work together so well and are a team. We are grateful , and we can only hope. Nervous but looking forward to the game.
