Has important other things on his mind. Wearing the number 23 jersey for Hawkes Bay in the Ranfurly Shield defence against South Canterbury if you must know.
Strong line-up for Hawke's Bay's first Shield defence
Many of Hawke's Bay's current highest-profile players named for Wednesday's match.

I guess James Lowe & Jamison Gibson-Park will be playing in the test on Saturday, but it would have been awesome to see them in this game.
Henshaw and ringrose in the midfield I guess.
This match should be pretty close, that’s a raw Ireland team.

Love that Bundee O’Aki is pointing at the IRFU symbol, I guess to make sure every knows he’s playing for them and not the Maori ABs!
-
Some experience on the Irish bench too with Healy, Murray and Carbery

TBH I wouldn’t want to play against the Maori team.

Looks like there could be some rain around for the game.
MABs coach mentioned that was part of the selection consideration

Bundee Aki named as captain.

Bundee Aki named as captain.
Seems a bit of a middle finger to the coaches, captain and players from his old team.
No motivation lacking then.
