Ireland wing Mack Hansen is set to face an independent disciplinary panel this week to face a misconduct charge following comments he made in the wake of Connacht’s URC derby defeat to Leinster last month.

Hansen had hit out during a post-match press conference at Aviva Stadium following the 20-12 loss on December 21, saying he felt Connacht were facing “16 men”, a suggestion of ongoing bias by officials against his province.
