Connacht keen to get Hansen sorted as injuries continue to plague Irish international

Connacht senior assistant coach Rod Seib said they needed to sort out all injury issues and try to prevent the stop-start nature of his career with the province and Ireland in the past few years.

Ireland's Mack Hansen leaves the pitch at thw Aviva Stadium.

Connacht are waiting on the results of scans to establish the extent of the hand and foot injuries which have ruled Mack Hansen out of this weekend’s clash with the Sharks but the indications are that he will not return to action for some time until all are fully sorted.

Hansen told Connacht head coach Stuart Lancaster and his coaching team that he wanted to return to action for the province straight after the autumn internationals, after a couple of injury-disrupted years at the Sportsground.
