Bundee Aki ‘just a small cog’ in the Ireland wheel

Bundee Aki says he can see a lot of similarities between this season and Connacht’s glorious march to silverware in 2016 as he prepares for his second Six Nations campaign.

Three years ago Connacht’s great season was kickstarted by a memorable trip to Siberia, their first win of the professional era in Thomond Park, and the creation of their longest winning run. Ireland’s Six Nations win over Italy saw five Connacht players feature for the first time ever.
