Bundee Aki handed 8-week ban, out of at least two November tests

The Connacht centre was dismissed in South Africa last weekend. 

BANNED: Bundee Aki of Connacht is shown a red card by referee Gianluca Gnecchi during the United Rugby Championship match between DHL Stormers and Connacht at Stellenbosch in South Africa. 

Bundee Aki will miss Ireland’s autumn internationals against South Africa and Fiji as he received an eight-week ban following his red card for Connacht last weekend.

The centre was given his marching orders for a dangerous shoulder-to-head clearout on Stormers wing Seabelo Senatla on the hour mark of their United Rugby Championship clash on Saturday.
