Bundee Aki shows his Irish credentials by leading rendition of Fields of AthenryAP Ireland's Bundee Aki runs with ball against England on Sunday. Bundee Aki is certainly embracing his newfound Irish heritage, leading his team-mates in a rousing rendition of Fields of Athenry. The Auckland-born centre was captured on video celebrating Ireland's Grand Slam Six Nations triumph by singing the classic Irish folk song. Other players seen in the video include Conor Murray, Peter O'Mahony and Jonathan Sexton. Aki left the Chiefs and New Zealand Rugby in 2014 for a big-money move to Irish club Connacht, before making his debut for Ireland, and their Kiwi coach Joe Schmidt, in 2017.
