IRELAND CENTRE BUNDEE Aki is one of four players on the shortlist for the official Six Nations player of the championship award for 2024.
The 33-year-old Connacht midfielder was superb in his four starts for Ireland as they claimed their second consecutive title.
Aki’s ball-carrying was a key part of Ireland’s title success and he has been included in the four-man shortlist along with England back row Ben Earl, Scotland wing Duhan van der Merwe, and Italy centre Tommaso Menoncello.
The four players were selected for this individual award after being the most-selected picks in a fan vote for the Guinness team of the championship.
Public voting is now open for the Six Nations player of the championship award and closes on Sunday 24 March at 11pm GMT.
All justified bar VDM. Ben Earl for me.
Menoncello for me, closely followed by Bundee and Earl.
Not sure Van der Merwe deserves to be on the list
@teuO6nLS: Spot on. That Italian centre partnership is immense! Brex is an absolutely baller aswell, his pass is sublime.
@teuO6nLS: I know he’s the ultimate journeyman, cranky head, etc… but he’s a beast in fairness
Bundee deserves it
Bundee Aki all day long
ben earl.
bean earl a shoe in
@Arjuna: Yeah. I think he’d be the first name on most people’s lips. Aki is fantastic but Earl has truly been the standout 8 and player.
Ben Earl, completely played Doris off the park in Twickenham. And no Munster fans, despite that Doris remains 5 times the player Coombes will ever be
@Eoin H: what relevance has your post given that you name a player that wasn’t in any of the 5 match day squads,other than try and play this childish provincial sh!te.
@mark sheehan: Yup… It’s now a ‘point of sale’ for media companies.
Probably Earl. Would like menincello to get it as a further boost to Italy. Bundee is a contender. And VDM should not get a nomination as he was anonymous for the last 2 weeks.
Menoncello didn’t do too much v Ireland. Would love to see Aki get it.
