Max D he’s best mates with henshaw, I’m pretty sure they have better chemistry, also they both play the same style, cus they’re both massive, not saying ringrose is bad tho he’s brilliant
@@ok-fk1pr ye I actually think they all have great chemistry together but henshaw and Aki does have more chemistry but I think henshaw and ringrose adds a bit more but that's my opinion
I think if we had aki it would've added a player that can constantly drive the attack forward, I don't think Henshaw or Ringrose really have that go forward.
It just shows how much depth New Zealand rugby has,you take an average chiefs player let him play for an Irish club for a few years and he’s good enough to start for Ireland where as if he had stayed in New Zealand he would’ve been canceled out by guys like leinert-brown goodhue and laumape
He has more to his game than Luampe but fuck me , Luampe is a powerhouse, very direct and doesn't bring his outside backs into the game too much , probably why he didnt go to the RWC
Needs an update, as he is currently tearing it apart at the World Cup. Interesting to read back on some of the comments, a few where people just didn’t rate him. He was always solid, but he has gone to another level. If he keeps up this form he is in for a WPOTY nomination I think
Other great video 👌 bundee is a amazing player but my opinion these few seasons now McCloskey has out pass him but that's my opinion and its great to see depth in Irish Rugby ☘☘☘☘
I wouldn't say hes one of Irelands best players personally he hasn't done anything outstanding and I would put henshaw over him with ringrose at 13 but that's my opinion
Anyone know the detail/ reasoning behind Aki’s move over to Ireland and ultimately his decision to play for the national side? With all due respect to Ireland, I think he’s easily good enough to have been an All Black. Maybe I’m missing something, but I only ever viewed the Southern Hemisphere born players who end up playing for a Northern Hemisphere team as the guys who weren’t quite good enough to be selected for their country of birth - so then seek the Test honours oversees either through a family link or residency. I see Duhan Ven Der Merwe the same. Definitely got the attributes to have been a Bok. To be clear I don’t have a problem with it, because Aki, like many others, are committed to their national side and play their heart out. But with him I just think he was easily good enough to have been an All Black. Again, I don’t know him of course, surely growing up in NZ and playing rugby, that’s every little boy and girls dream - to play for their national side.
@@brabaz3702he's certainly become a very good test centre. I remember when he first joined Connacht, and he was just on fire. As a former Cardiff season ticket holder I remember waiting for the Connacht at home game so that we could see Aki live. Amazing player.
@@actimeladdict2564 I would go for 12 tuilangi 13 ringrose because even if we try we arent going 2 match the physicality of the Springboks so we should pick players with attacking flair
@@chadgooch9471 well, is there anyone else that comes to mind? heck, I'd give Mick o'Driscoll or Donnacha Ryan a mention given their provincial honours..
You love to see it, months and months of waiting and finally Andrew has make a Bundee Aki video
Aki is one of my favourite players gives as much for the green jersey as any player
from the south sea islands to ireland, this gentleman stole the heart of a nation
🇳🇿🇦🇸🇼🇸
Thanks so much for this, really underrated player. Never gives less than his best for Ireland.
Now, he’s far from underrated.
He is such a class act. And a genuinely lovely human being
He's a beast of a player, love watching him on the field.
My favourite video you've done is any tribute for an irish player this is in the top 3
Aki is such a unit, but he definitely not just a tough bloke. Amazing video, some great choices of moments.
Another wonderful tribute to a wonderful player. And on the seventh day Andrew Forde did post the Bundee Aki tribute 😆
I love to see u succeed Andrew I have been here since 1.1 k keep up the hard work
Sad he missed our last match in the World Cup
I dont think he would've made a difference and ringrose and henshaw are the best partnership In my opinion
Max D he’s best mates with henshaw, I’m pretty sure they have better chemistry, also they both play the same style, cus they’re both massive, not saying ringrose is bad tho he’s brilliant
Against NZ, yeah I don’t think anyone could’ve turned that blacks train around.

Im so glad we have him playing for Ireland
Hes a Beast
3:27 damn he got through Farrell, Vunipola AND Itoje; 3 of England's best defenders.
Powerhouse and passion 💚👏
dark necessities, nice touch
Who’s here after lions tour announcement?
Me.
Your the only rugby you tuber uploading, thank you
Love Aki, done a lot for Ireland and for Connaught as well

@@RioGamer very sorry. Thanks for correcting me
I think Ireland would do great with Henshaw and Ringrose starting and Aki as an impact 23

Super joueur ! Je suis un grand fan de Mr aki ! Un grand Bravvo de toulouse !

That hurt.
Aki is one of Ireland’s best players... considering international form idk how people construe that Henshaw is better.
I wouldn't say hes one of Irelands best players personally he hasn't done anything outstanding and I would put henshaw over him with ringrose at 13 but that's my opinion
Max D Fair enough
@@alexsmith3993 who wud u have as the Ireland partnership
Max D Aki and Ringrose for me mate, Henshaw in 22/23 shirt
@@alexsmith3993 fair enough henshaw would be good at 23 because he can cover fb and ringrose can move to wing if we need to take off a wing
Nice vid Andrew
Shut up Harry Owens
Brilliant
A poor man's Manu Tuilagi😀
He is the next gordon darcy
Due another one of these Andrew
think hed be a better flanker or as a 23 doesnt have enough impact on the game to play centre for ireland imo still hes solid tho

Not only would he have walked into the All Black side, he'd have given Nonu a shake for best centre they've had for about the last 20 years
Because he couldn’t make the team so he tried elsewhere, he has improved massively playing in irelamd
