BUNDEE AKI has been axed from Ireland’s Six Nations squad for disciplinary reasons, the IRFU has revealed. Uncapped Ulster centre Jude Postlethwaite, 23, has replaced Aki for Ireland, who get their campaign underway against France in Paris next Thursday, February 5. “The IRFU can confirm that Bundee Aki has not travelled with the Men’s senior squad to Portugal for disciplinary reasons,” read a statement from the governing body. The IRFU’s announcement came on the same day Aki was facing an Independent Disciplinary Committee in relation to a Misconduct Complaint made against him following the Leinster game. They then travel to Twickenham to face England and round off their campaign with home games against Wales and Scotland.
