Mack Hansen’s return to action has been slightly delayed and it’s now hoped he will be back for Connacht’s final home match of the season on Saturday week against the Stormers.

Head coach Pete Wilkins had hoped the Irish winger would be back for Saturday’s trip to Thomond Park to take on Munster but he doesn’t want to take any risks with the player.
