Bundee Aki to miss Connacht’s Challenge Cup games after being handed four game ban

Bundee Aki will miss Connacht’s Challenge Cup last 16 ties with the Leicester Tigers next week – and a potential quarter-final should they advance.

The Irish international has been banned for four games.

Aki was red-carded for a dangerous tackle in last weekend’s Six Nations win versus England.

He was sent-off by referee Mathieu Raynal for making contact with the head of Billy Vunipola in the 63rd minute of Ireland’s 32-18 victory.

Aki appeared before a disciplinary panel on Tuesday, accepting that he had committed the act of foul play and that it warranted a red card.

The disciplinary committee felt the offense merited a mid-range entry point regarding his punishment and was handed a six-week ban but instead, Aki will be banned for Connacht’s next four games.
