WATCH: Connacht hero Bundee Aki throws his medal into the crowd during celebrations in Galway

Conor Heneghan

What a man.

The celebrations after Connacht’s fantastic victory over Leinster in Saturday’s PRO12 Final are likely to last for a few days yet, but they were very much in full swing in Galway on Sunday afternoon.

As you might expect, Bundee Aki was at the centre of things outside of An Pucán and as well as leading the crowd in a great version of ‘The Fields of Athenry,’ he also tossed them his medal at one stage.

By the looks of things, Bundee had been aiming for a bucket several feet away from where he was standing and it was all set to land in the bucket before a last-ditch interception by one of the many fans in attendance.

A Connacht hero for now and, as of next year, he could be an Ireland one too.
