Bundee Aki is targeting a place in the Lions Test team this summer, as the Ireland centre vows to play to his strengths in the quest to feature against South Africa. “People say it’s the pinnacle of your rugby career and I think it is,” Aki said. For me, I just need to worry about what I need to do and play to my own strengths. For me, I just need to be myself and add value.”Friend revealed that Aki is set to play 80 minutes at the Sportsground on Friday before he turns his attention to forcing his way into the Lions Test team. “I think anyone who has got themselves named in that squad now wants to be a starting player,” the Connacht boss added.
