Ireland attack coach Andrew Goodman has indicated Bundee Aki will be considered for the last two Six Nations games at home to Wales and Scotland, at which point his four-game suspension for misconduct after Connacht’s loss to Leinster last weekend will be served.
The IRFU weighed in on the issue before the URC’s Independent Committee convened on Wednesday, stating the union “does not tolerate any form of disrespect shown towards match officials”, adding they would conduct an internal review on the matter.
Aki was handed a six-week suspension, with two weeks suspended for two years, for engaging with match officials “on several occasions in a manner which breached the Disciplinary Rules” after the Leinster defeat.
