Connacht head coach Pete Wilkins is confident Mack Hansen will follow in Bundee Aki’s footsteps and extend his contract with the province.

Hansen is out of contract with Connacht next summer and while nothing has been announced so far in the wave of new Irish contracts, Wilkins is optimistic that the Canberra native will commit his future in Galway.
