Connacht’s hopes of a shock win away to Saracens next weekend have been dealt a massive blow with Mack Hansen ruled out of a game where both sides really need to win to stay in the hunt for the Champions Cup.

Hansen suffered an ankle injury in the record 41-5 loss at home to Bordeaux-Bègles on Friday night amid fears it’s a recurrence of the issue which troubled him during the World Cup.
