Ireland center Bundee Aki during their win against South Africa | PICTURE: Sportsfile
IRELAND centre Bundee Aki is making it a habit of getting man of the match awards at the Rugby World Cup after his side beat World Champions, South Africa 13-8.
Aki showed the incredible form he is in once again against South Africa, being heavily involved in Ireland's only try of the game.
In an emotional interview post match Bundee said he was "lost for words" with the support the team received from Irish fans in Paris.
"As a group and as a team we knew coming into this game that we had to be a lot better in all areas of our game. We knew South Africa were going to give it to us and look they did. They put us under an immense amount of pressure but we trusted each other and believed in our group of players."
This is the second time Bundee has been awarded the prize of man of the match and given his run of play throughout Ireland's group games it looks like it won't be the last.
Ireland now have a two week break before their play their last group game of the tournament against Scotland.
