Video has emerged of the Ireland centre watching the end of the France v England game on a phone in Dublin
Footage has emerged of Ireland star Bundee Aki’s reaction to losing the Six Nations on the final kick on Saturday night.
Having beaten Scotland in Dublin to seal the Triple Crown earlier on Super Saturday, Andy Farrell’s side were relying on England to beat France in Paris to hand them the title as well. Remarkably, Steve Borthwick’s side found themselves leading 46-45 in the dying seconds after a dramatic 80 minutes.
However, Thomas Ramos’ last-gasp penalty snatched victory for the hosts with the final kick of the tournament – denying Ireland any title celebrations as well.
It capped the end of a lengthy wait for the Irish in Dublin.
Many Irish journalists had stayed in the Avivia Stadium to watch the end of France’s match – which ended just over six hours after Ireland’s match had finished.
However, that seemingly wasn’t the case for the Irish players.
A video has been posted on Instagram of Irish duo Aki and Finlay Bealham watching the game on a phone outside of Pitch on Dawson Street in the Irish capital.
As one group of fans watch Ramos’ kick sail through the posts on one phone, the camera pans to Aki and Bealham seeing their title hopes ended.
The British and Irish Lions centre simply reacts by shouting “F**k”, before the two go on with the rest of their night.
Warning: Strong language in the video
Many supporters revealed they were left feeling the exact same way late on Saturday night following the dramatic end to the Six Nations.
“We couldn’t say it better ourselves Bundee!” replied one comment on Instagram.
“Aki speaking on behalf of the nation,” said another.
