The leaders of both the DUP and Sinn Fein at Stormont are among those who led the chorus of praise for the Ireland rugby squad following the team’s World Cup victory over champions South Africa.

Eliciting special mention was Bundee Aki, the 33-year-old centre whose performance was at the heart of the Saturday night clash in Paris, which ended 13-8.

Born in New Zealand, Fua Leiofi Bundellu ‘Bundee’ Aki has played for Ireland since 2017 and last night was his 50th international cap for the squad.
