@@pobzy4076haha class, I do drumming at Connacht matches in the Sportsground and met him at a captains run and at Centra’s getting the sausage roll😂 he’s a class man
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.
Aki is a phenomenal player... a class act. Easily one of best players during 2023 World Cup. Was so sad for him when Ireland went out against New Zealand .....he looked devastated.
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 !
He came there for money. Hard to get look when you have nonu in front of you. He was part of the super rugby champion chief team. Stop the lies 😂😂😂 4 more years 😂😂😂
@karlosdeevs I'm telling you facts. Trying to say the Irish developed a player that was a super rugby champion. What are you smoking 😄 🤣 😂 ?? Who raised you?? 😄 🤣 😂 😆 stop lying
Bundee Aki....great Irish name! He sounds like a kiwi, talks like a kiwi and all his family are in south auckland...nothing irish about him except for his residency cause hes been there for 3 years 😂😂😂
I find all these comments about the origin of rugby players quite unfair to be honest. Every team has got foreign players or players with foreign parents, it's pointless to criticize them.
Itoje, Smith the Vunipola brothers, it doesn't matter where your heritage lies, if you're playing for 'your' country who cares. I might even be part french (bloody hope not)
Argentina has none and never did. We are the clear example that true growth in tier level is achieved by making your own players. In this WC neither does SA, Chile, Namibia nor Uruguay
Bundee learned how to play rugby well in the NH -- and make a living wage doing it in front of fans who actually love the sport. Would have never happened for the lad in the SH in any of those regards -- good of him to abandon those ignorant shite-spewing bastids!
@@Orca322 it's hard tryijg to educate the absolute thickos of the SH - you and your ilk. . No wonder you all suffer in your third world conditions and will be for years to come. And have overrated shite rugby teams too
How come he isnt playing for New Zealand? Aki was born in the Auckland suburb of Ōtāhuhu, to Hercules and Sautia Aki Can anybody play for any country now purely on the basis of residency status?
@karlosdeevs wishful thinking. Us islanders support Aki. We just don't agree with the lies being told of his skills being built in Ireland. If he makes it good on him, but without him, that backline doesn't scare anyone.
only if they had won the 2023 web ellis cup but sorry to say they got knocked out by the all blacks so no he is not the best centre may be for ireland but not the world nz south africa final
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.
Aki is unbelievable talented player best player of tournament thus far....I can see Ireland v SA final its gonna happen..new Zealand just cant handle Ireland in 1st 20mins...Ireland to win rather easy by 10
The testing regime at this World Cup is not fit for purpose. Bundee Aki was just a normal looking Player back in NZ, now he’s jacked like the rock. This is going to blow up one day like the Tour De France. Terrible example to young folk.
So overrated. He bullied Romania and Tonga, all he did against the Springboks was make one good line break when Manie Libbok slipped, and did nothing against Scotland. Small game player.
I met him at the bank one day, absolutely lovely man! Very down to earth and so humble. Surprisingly not that tall but built like a truck!
You posted this already on other videos, you love them likes😂
@cbyod it was a fairly simple story but it was funny to me 🤣 I only realised it was the same page after I had already done it!
@@pobzy4076haha class, I do drumming at Connacht matches in the Sportsground and met him at a captains run and at Centra’s getting the sausage roll😂 he’s a class man
@JamieOSully absolute gentleman so he is!
How tall would you say he is? As they usually exaggerate a little online

Bundee has been brilliant, Porter has been sublime with his offloads..... I am looking forward to the 1/4f vs the AB's
Bundee just poetry in motion 💕☘️🇮🇪
Slam poetry if you will
Well deserved Bundee
Fenomenale Bundee Aki
100% Bundee Aki is a machine.

Completely right, a lot of it is just latent racism.

@@jacobgrace3652😂😂😂 no one wants to be French 😂😂😂
Aki is our fighting Uruk Kai. Made under a mountain.
Absolute unit, Gun ball carrier
My favourite players at this RWC are Ardie, Bundee and Eben
1st Centre 💪💪
he is look like old mongolian warriar and samoa player..❤
Yes.
Always nice to have a kiwi
Always nice to have Monty Ioane in the side too😂
100% player of the pool stage
Bundee.....Bundee....Bundee Aki
No doubt. Playing the best rugby of his life, Auckland boy
Big bad Bundee 😂
Er, yes
No sabía que Auckand queda en Irlanda 😂😂😂
It isn’t, but he’s Galway now 10 years!🇮🇪
Es fácil pudiendo usar jugadores que no son nacidos en el país que representan...
It’s easier to use home grown players don’t you think?
I don't disagree.
The designated face of irish rugby...
Yes, I agree, we’re lucky to have him, go Ireland! 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Probably the "player of the RWC"
Doubt it 😄 🤣 😂
Damian McKenzie is the best player of this years group stages...🇿🇦
NO COMMENT
Bundee learned how to play rugby well in the NH -- and make a living wage doing it in front of fans who actually love the sport. Would have never happened for the lad in the SH in any of those regards -- good of him to abandon those ignorant shite-spewing bastids!
Calm down lad 😂

Chill…game of respect.
A bit harsh but hard to disagree
Do you mean North Harbour? Not sure he learnt rugby there? Although it was Auckland.
He'd walk on to that all blacks starting 15 today you'd be regarded to say other wise
How come he isnt playing for New Zealand? Aki was born in the Auckland suburb of Ōtāhuhu, to Hercules and Sautia Aki
Can anybody play for any country now purely on the basis of residency status?
because they never rated him, well now they’re biting their tongue at having overlooked him😂
@karlosdeevs no one is biting their tongue. He is in his early 30s. Wont even be at the next world cup. I will salt my fries with your tears 😂 😄 🤣
@@chucktee8088 you sure? could be on the next Lions tour, next WC before a gallant send off. It’s all there in the tank

Lazy video. It's like an AI threw together a bunch of clips with his name tagged in them
Ireland never got to the Semi’s that won’t change😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jesus you are some troll .. dont go deleting your messages AGAIN .. chat Saturday

A brilliant kiwi🥝🥝
Green on the inside
@@schoolofpiracy your out your out haha 😹😹😹😹
Out in the quarter finals again 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😔😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
The Kiwis played a brilliant game and deserved to win. Your comments on the other hand aren’t particularly gracious.
@@schoolofpiracylots of kids in these comments sections, I wouldn't tar us all with the same brush
Why isn't he playing in the semifinals ? bahahahahahaha
How , how many tries .Could be more overrated than DuPont 😂😂😂
only if they had won the 2023 web ellis cup but sorry to say they got knocked out by the all blacks so no he is not the best centre may be for ireland but not the world nz south africa final
Not really Irish though, is he?
One of the many southern hemisphere mercenaries strengthening the northern hemisphere teams.
Yup, thanks!
@@barryholland8280Yup, he's a mercenary.
2nd and 3rd best players in the team are too ...
Only after that do you start finding any Irish players.
Like I said, thanks. Enjoy the game tomorrow, we’re lucky to have rugby this time of year.
@@barryholland8280 Thanks for what, pointing out the obvious? or the irony?

Didn't want him apparently
He's a brother in Green😂

Don't hold your breath LOL
I want this to be true, but I think the level of certainy is optimistic

Aged like milk
Someone need to check on OP 😂😂😂 need to put him on suicide watch

Or he was really well nurtured at Connaught
@@schoolofpiracy Yes, that’s a great name for the “milkshakes” he’s on….”well nurtured”.
You think he's juicing ?
@@adamsweed9955 Does it rain in Ireland?
@adamsweed9955 Absolute BS - and that is libellous also.
Just because you do a degree course in Ireland, you shouldn't be allowed to play for the Irish national team. It's silly, it cheapens their success.
What are you on about? Educate yourself man.
@@barryholland8280 Maybe I should do a degree course in Australia, which would make me Australian apparently
