Bundee Aki linked with moves away but Connacht is the current priority

A confirmation that Bundee Aki IRFU contract runs through to the end of next season in the summer of 2026, and that would seem to be a complicating factor to reports in Midi Olympique that Toulon have been fluttering their eyelids.

Ten years living and working in Ireland, Bundee Aki deepened those connections with this country two months ago when he was one of 3,600 people to receive their citizenship in a ceremony at the Convention Centre in Dublin.

The Connacht centre described it as an “unbelievable privilege and unbelievable honour” when asked about that day earlier this week. He has spoken time and again about his love for the country, about the people and the country.
