Connacht are sweating over the fitness of Irish winger Mack Hansen for their crucial Christmas clash with Ulster at the Sportsground on Friday week.

The World Rugby’s Breakthrough Player of the Year nominee suffered a leg injury in the URC win over Benetton the weekend before last and Connacht hope he can return to full training next week.
