The headaches are mounting for Andy Farrell ahead of next week’s Six Nations opener against France, with URC officials tonight confirming that Bundee Aki will be suspended for Ireland’s first three games against France, Italy and England.
Aki had been stood down from the Ireland squad earlier today, with the IRFU denouncing his behaviour towards the match officials in the wake of Connacht’s 34-23 defeat to Leinster last Saturday night.
