Lived and worked in Christchurch. The Māori and Pacific Islanders are seriously tough , funny , hard working. Very Irish traits ☘️🇮🇪 Bundee is arguably in top 5 in World
No, is my answer to the first question. However , since rugby began players have decided for personal reasons to dictate themselves to their adopted Country. Most of which have been to the elite rugby nations. So are the players at fault or is it the system that's in place ? To answer your second question . I think we all want the best players playing the best rugby possible with pride for the jersey. I don't think there is any player in the professional era who are not 100 percent committed to the team that they play for. It's not all about money, it's about having a dream and ambition to play at the top of rugby. When you play for another country that is not your birth place. I'm sure they are sacrificing more than just money but not having that close connection with family and friends like before. If change is required then let's start with those who benefit from this long before Ireland did.
I remember the time when he used to play for the Mighty Chiefs and won the Chiefs 2nd Super Rugby title back in 2013, he was such an amazing Chiefs Player! But I can see that he's doing well with Ireland.
I genuinely feel honoured that he ours on the green jersey with pride - his story is an Irish one, going to a far off land to do your best. Thanks Bundi!!

@@DazBag78 The all blacks weren’t good enough for him. The AB’s regret it now that’s for sure. Ye keyboard warrior fools will type and talk all day long but at end of day ye are cruel haters and bundee strives off ye. So stay hating
He was used as a crash ball centre by Ireland. He was always better than just that. Connacht were getting far more passing and offloads from him. Ireland only started using his abilities more recently.
This!! It's bizarre! I'm a Leinster fan who suffered through that Pro 12 final loss, but that aside I loved every second of that Connacht season and a huge reason for it was Aki and Henshaw's partnership. These media types who go on about him being a 'crash ball' merchant have the memories of gold fish. Aki was phenomenal in setting up others that season. His off loads were things of beauty, and it's lovely to see them show up for Irealnd more and more.
@@LFire12 Exactly. He had a very rounded game but his bulk and power was what people focused on. McCloskey has great hands too but people see him as a battering ram because he’s big.
And this headline of ‘Sth Pacific > Connacht’ is central to the Irish and European rugby medias perpetuation of the myth the AB’s poach from the Pacific Islands. Bundee Aki born 7 April 1990 in AUCKLAND, NZ. He’s as Kiwi as Dan Carter.
Nah, Irish rugby media don’t like acknowledging NZ why Bundee for them is from the ‘Sth Pacific’ referencing his Samoan heritage and not his place of birth.
Pat Lam at 2.14 ‘he was better than what they had’. Of course he was. That’s the thing about Sport. It doesn’t care about colour, race, background etc. Sport is about merit. It’s earned. He’s not getting on the Irish team without huge talent. And he’s shown it to us time and time again. It’s safe to say we love ya Bundee 💚🇮🇪👊
Yeah but that should apply to club Rugby. International Rugby should be the best of ours vs the best of yours. Otherwise what's the point? Especially when you see them returning to their home countries once the career is over....such as CJ Stander, Isaac Boss etc. They dont stick around in their "adopted" country. Its all a bit silly.
The ones who criticise him are the one who don’t do anything for Ireland but complain. I’ve seen him so emotional when he wore that green jersey and proud of the Irish flag. Shot bro 👍🏻
Seems you already know "all you need to know" about everything... Yet you can't explain how you simply enjoy the commodity of a non-ethnic Gael using our slang or mannerisms as a novelty yet it does not make someone Irish by magically changing their ethnicity...
Ab's never gave him a chance with to many talent all round. Glad ireland gave him a chance and now he has been a great enforcer for the Irish!!!. I remember him causing havoc against the Ab's. Keep going strong for the Irish uso 😎👌🏾
I respect peoples opinions on immigration, but this man could've played for the best team in the world at the time - NZ. And chose to come play in and for Ireland instead. He loves this country. The perfect player and immigrant. Bundee represents Ireland better than most native countryman and has all of my love and respect as a result.
The Waterboy is also milling around, he’s not allowed on the pitch either as technically the ball is in play, and he’s still wandering around as the defense clears the ball after it hit the post.
