Robbie Henshaw eyes Bundee Aki reunion in green jersey

Robbie Henshaw is only a week away from a return to competitive rugby with Leinster but the Irish international is allowing himself a sneaky peek at a possible reunion with Bundee Aki come November.

The pair established a productive partnership in Connacht’s midfield before Henshaw made the switch to Dublin and they may well wear green together again in the near future now that the Kiwi qualifies for Ireland under the residency regulations.

Richie McCaw was quoted last year saying that Aki should be asked home to make a run for the All Blacks but the 27-year-old has since committed to Ireland after some careful consideration and he was part of Joe Schmidt’s early-season squad gathering recently.
