Bundee Aki says he overreacted after Pat Lam’s decision to step down

Bundee Aki has admitted he over-reacted to Pat Lam’s shock decision to step down as Connacht coach at the end of the season.

Aki tweeted ‘feeling pissed’ after Lam called the squad together earlier this month and announced he was leaving the Sportsground a year early to take up a deal with Bristol.

Aki, in big demand after being named PRO12 player of the season in Connacht’s march to glory, had weeks earlier signed a new three-year contract extension.
