We announced it to you a few days ago: the RCT had made the arrival of three-quarter Irish center Bundee Aki (34 years old, 57 caps) one of its priorities. According to our information, the Connacht player will extend his contract with the Celtic federation for an additional year…
Why has Bundee Aki's profile caused so much panic among the big Top 14 teams and their Premiership counterparts in recent weeks? This is because at 34 years old, the three-quarter Irish center at the end of his contract with Irfu has never seemed so strong and, barring disaster, will still be a key part of Andy Farrell's system in the coming months, in Celtic selection as in the jersey of the British and Irish Lions, whose tour is scheduled for the summer of 2025 in Australia. Strong on the man and powerful with the ball, Bundee Aki, who arrived from New Zealand in 2014, is above all considered the unbeatable leader of the defensive system of Connacht and the Green Devils.
Provence Rugby and the RCT will have to look for another three-quarter center
Recently, Toulon and Provence Rugby had inquired, and more, about the Irish center three-quarter. At a time when the first named is seeking to densify his midfield and probably anticipates the next departure of Jeremy Sinzelle, the second is increasingly expanding his group with a view to reaching the elite which he hopes is imminent.
However, Bundee Aki, far from being insensitive to the interest shown in him by the two French entities, should, according to our information, extend his contract with the Irish federation until spring 2026. For their part, the Rct and Provence Rugby will, barring an improbable turnaround, have to look for another center of international stature…
