Native Kiwis Bundee Aki, Jamison Gibson-Park and James Lowe will face the All Blacks at the World Cup for the first time.
Conor Murray believes New Zealand’s loss is Ireland’s gain as “world-class” trio Bundee Aki, Jamison Gibson-Park and James Lowe bid to give their native country serious cause for regret.
“They’re three world-class players who we’re really going to rely on heavily and have performed unbelievably well in this competition.“It hasn’t really been mentioned, the New Zealand thing. They’re part of our Irish team now and they’re really important to us. Connacht player Aki made his Ireland debut in 2017 but missed Ireland’s last-eight World Cup loss to New Zealand in 2019 through suspension.The 33-year-old, who four years ago was sent off against Samoa – his parents’ native country, has been one of the standout performers in France.
“Breaking the quarter-final isn’t something we talk about. But with the special group we have, it’s something we’re chasing and would absolutely love to do for ourselves and the fans here and at home.
