Bundee Aki has apologised for his reaction at full-time in Connacht’s narrow loss to Leicester Tigers, in which he angrily confronted referee Mathieu Raynal.
Connacht were beaten 29-28 in the Sportsground, substitute Hosea Saumaki scoring in the corner in the 79th minute to give the visiting Tigers a dramatic victory.
As the referee examined the replays of the decisive try on the big screen, the home support appeared convinced that Saumaki placed a foot in touch when holding off John Porch’s last-ditch tackle.
