Mack Hansen to miss Six Nations through injury

Connacht and Ireland winger Mack Hansen has been ruled out of action for four months due to a shoulder injury.

Hansen suffered the injury in Connacht's 22-9 win over Munster in the URC on New Year's Day and has since undergone surgery.

The 25-year-old will miss Ireland's Six Nations campaign, as Andy Farrell's side aim to win back-to back Grand Slams.

Since making his debut in 2022, Hansen has become an important part of the Ireland side, scoring nine tries in 21 caps.

He will also miss Connacht's final group games in the Champions Cup in January.
