Mack Hansen has been ruled out of Connacht’s vital URC clash with the Stormers but Argentine international Santiago Cordero is set to finally make his debut after suffering an ACL injury in his first week training in Galway last summer.

Connacht head coach Pete Wilkins said Hansen’s recovery from the shoulder injury he suffered back in January which required surgery remained a week-to-week basis situation in terms of when he will be back.
