Bundee Aki's World Cup is over after receiving three-week ban

Ireland's bid to overturn Aki's red card sanction proves unsuccessful.

Ireland will have to face New Zealand without Bundee Aki after the centre’s World Cup was brought to an end at a disciplinary hearing in Tokyo on Monday.

Aki was handed a three-week suspension for the high tackle on Samoa’s Ulupano Seuteni that earned him a red card in Fukuoka on Saturday. It means the inside centre will miss Saturday’s quarter-final against the All Blacks as well as the semi-final and final should Ireland progress.
