Mack Hansen’s compulsory course on match officiating is a work in progress as he heads into his fourth Six Nations campaign, according to his Connacht coach Pete Wilkins.

Hansen’s three-match ban for his criticism of match officials following last month’s outburst after they lost to Leinster in the Aviva Stadium will end on Friday when Connacht travel to URC champions Glasgow Warriors.
