Referee Nic Berry duly issued the red and with that, Aki's game and his tournament was over. Going on the laws that are currently in place that hit by Aki is on course for a ban of four to eight weeks.
Ireland may appeal the decision, but the likelihood of the red card being overturned is a slim one.

Nonetheless, the Samoans are doing their very best to ensure this isn't the end for Aki. Their manager Steve Jackson was speaking to the assembled media after the game when he called on the powers that be to 'see some sense.'
He also nodded that Samoa will do everything within their power to help get Aki's ban overturned.
"Hopefully the powers that be see some sense. I hope no further sanctions will be taken against Bundee. We will do everything we can to make sure he gets on the field next week."
