Bundee Aki – Intersport Elverys Brand Ambassador

Intersport Elverys are proud to have Ireland International and Connacht rugby star Bundee Aki as our brand ambassador since 2016. We feel Intersport Elverys and Bundee Aki are a perfect fit, as we share common values, vision, focused on family, strive to be number one and are rooted in sports performance. He has played for Connacht since 2014, winning the PRO12 title in 2016, playing in the European Champions Cup and has recently made an impressives 100 appearances for the province. After his successes with Connacht he went on to make his Irish debut and since 2017, Bundee has won the Six Nations Grand Slam, Triple Crown and was also part of the teams historic victory over his native New Zealand at the Aviva Stadium in 2018, as well as playing his part in the 2019 Rugby World Cup.

Being one of the most recognisable faces in Irish Rugby, if not Irish sport, Bundee is a fantastic ambassador for our brand. We’ve worked well together over the past 4 years and have collaborated on a number of fan initiatives, campaigns, videos and photo shoots. Take a look at some of the highlights below.
